Biography
Dr. Hogan is a Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. Her research program focuses on evolution during chronic fungal and bacterial lung infections and the consequences of bacterial-fungal interactions. The Hogan Lab applies transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and microbiome profiling approaches as well as experimental genetics and biochemical studies to the study of microbe-host and microbe-microbe interactions. For five years, Dr. Hogan co-directed the Molecular Mycology summer course at the Marine Biological Labs (MBL) in Woods Hole and has served on the organizing committees for a number of regional and national meetings. At Dartmouth, Dr. Hogan is the Director of the Host-Microbe Interactions Training Program and co-director of the Translational Research Core which aims to increase the use of translational approaches in basic research.
