Pietro Mastroeni

Pietro Mastroeni is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Veterinary Medicine. His research focuses on infection immunity, vaccine development, bacterial pathogenesis, and the interplay between pathogen behavior and host immune responses. He employs multidisciplinary approaches to study in vivo pathogen dynamics, immunoevasion, and the effectiveness of vaccines and antibiotics. His work integrates molecular cloning, protein expression in bacteria, and analytical techniques such as ELISA, Western Blotting, Flow Cytometry, and Cellular Assays.

Pietro Mastroeni is a Professor of Infection and Immunity at the University of Cambridge, specializing in infection, immunity, vaccines, and antibiotics. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which pathogens like Salmonella evade host immune defenses, particularly through interactions with the NADPH phagocyte oxidase and inducible nitric oxide synthase. He investigates immune responses to bacterial infections, including the role of cytokines, chemokines, and T cells in host resistance. His work also explores vaccine development and the dynamics of bacterial growth during infection. Mastroeni's studies contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases.
