Lauren Zavan
Dr Lauren Zavan is a Research Officer in the McDevitt laboratory at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, University of Melbourne. Her work examines the chemical biology at the host-pathogen interface with a particular focus on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of zinc homeostasis in the Gram-negative pathogens Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Lauren’s research uses multi-dimensional metalloproteomics, bioinformatics, and molecular microbiology approaches to generate a holistic understanding of essential bacterial systems that enable their survival in metal ion restricted environments. Prior to her role in the McDevitt group, she received her PhD in Microbiology at La Trobe University in 2023, where she studied the composition and functions of bacterial membrane vesicles.
