Research Interests

Smruti's Master's thesis focused on the evolution of daptomycin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and utilized an in vitro bioreactor infection model. Her research interests lie in the field of bacterial pathogenesis and infectious diseases, specifically in understanding the adaptive responses of pathogens to different host-associated stresses.
