Postdoctoral Associate

Ha-Na received her Ph.D degree with the major of microbiology from Pusan National University in South Korea in Feb 2018. During her Ph. D, she studied the regulation of peroxide stress responses in Mycobacterium smegmatis. She joined the laboratory of Dr. Dirk Schnappinger in Apr 2018 and now is working on a project for identification and characterization of genes involved in the utilization of biotin in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
