S茅bastien Faucher - Assistant Professor, Department of Natural Resource Sciences
Expertise: Water-borne pathogens and the regulation of virulence factors and genes involved in stress response. His lab uses Legionella pneumophila as a model to investigate the relationship between bacterial pathogens and the host. The genetic and environmental factors affecting the survival of bacterial pathogens in water are also investigated.
