Hermano Zenaide Neto
Job description
Postdoctoral Researcher in the Host-Microbe Interaction (HMI) Research Group, Department of Medical Biology.
My research focuses on developing single-cell methods to investigate bacterial heterogeneity, particularly dormant and antibiotic-tolerant subpopulations of Staphylococcus aureus. By combining fluorescent probes, flow cytometry, and functional assays, I aim to understand whether and how different bacterial physiological states may contribute to treatment failure and recurrent infections, ultimately helping to improve diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
