Andrea Zbell (Ph.D, 2008) is currently a postdoctoral associate in Dr. Phil Rather’s lab at Emory University (Atlanta, GA), where she has been studying biofilm formation by Acinetobacter baumannii. Indeed Dr. Rather recently presented a seminar to our (UGA) Microbiology Department, and a portion of the presented work was Andrea’s. Andrea is currently writing a manuscript about this work. While conducting the postdoctoral research in Atlanta, Andrea also taught as an adjunct faculty member at Southern Catholic College, in Dawsonville, GA. She recently accepted an assistant professor position in Biology at that college. Congratulations, Andrea!
