Research Interests
Mengshi is interested in bacterial physiology and spatial dynamics of bacterial aggregates, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa). She seeks quantitative ways to describe the biological phenomena under the context of bacterial infections. She is currently working on RNA protein relationships in PA14 and across different Aa strains.
Area of Specialization
