Biographical Sketch
Dr. Ann M. Findley is a physiologist who is broadly trained in the areas of cellular and molecular biology. Throughout her career, she has taught in biology and chemistry departments at universities in Arkansas, Louisiana, and New York. Dr. Findley is actively involved in pre-college outreach programs that target introducing students to biotechnology and genomics. She currently holds the Kitty DeGree Endowed Professorship in Biology and serves as the program coordinator for the HHMI-SEA PHAGES Program at ULM.
Research Interests
Dr. Findley's current research interests include the isolation and characterization of novel bacteriophages from environmental soil samples. In addition to adding to the database of sequenced and annotated phages, her research is also targeted at identifying phage isolates with broad host-range infectivity that can be developed as potential phage therapy agents against pathogenic species of the genus Mycobacterium.
