Sona Garsevanyan is a Postdoctoral Fellow at SFSU and Program Manager for Phage Pathways Program. She received her PhD in Quantitative and Systems Biology from UC Merced. Where she initiated the collection of Gram-negative clinical isolates of bacteria expressing resistance to extended spectrum β-lactam antibiotics. She is passionate in studying bacterial evolution in highly resistant pathogens and specific resistance phenotypes.

Lillian Lowrey is a Barbara McClintock Biosciences Postdoctoral Fellow at Sandia National Labs where she works on generating phage-based tools for genetic engineering and directed-evolution of valuable microbial enzymes for bioremediation and biomanufacturing purposes. She received her B.S. from Davidson College and her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel hill. She is excited to join Phage Pathways as a mentor for a summer intern that will optimize phage-inspired tools for stable genetic manipulation of bacteria.

Jessica Trinh is a Postdoctoral Appointee at Sandia National Laboratories, with a PhD in Microbiology from UC Davis. She is currently researching the use of phages as potential therapeutic agents against the critical pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii and as biotechnological tools for safe microbiome editing. Much of her work involves the engineering of prophages, or phages that integrate into bacterial genomes, as host-specific chasses.
