Tramy completed her doctoral studies at the University of Nebraska Department of Pathology and Microbiology under the mentorship of Dr. Paul Fey. Her thesis work focused on defining transcriptional regulation of PIA-dependent biofilm formation in Staphylococcus epidermidis. Tramy joined the OS lab in the fall of 2018, and is studying the impact of the heme-responsive PrrH sRNA on P. aeruginosa gene expression and growth in a variety of environments.
