Assistant Professor, Dept. of Veterinary & Biomedical Sciences, South Dakota State University, Brookings. Dr. Scaria has a broad interest in the role of the gut microbiome in health and disease. Dr. Scaria's primary interest is in understanding the mechanisms by which gut microbiota excludes the colonization of enteric pathogens, such as Clostridium difficile and Salmonella enterica. He is also interested in the evolutionary genetics of enteric pathogens. Contact : joy dot scaria at sdstate dot edu
