Sarah Bier

Postdoctoral Fellow

I’m broadly interested in how bacteria respond to antibiotic exposure, and how we can analyze their responses to determine antibacterial mechanisms. During my doctorate at Harvard Medical School, I characterized how a novel environmental strain of Aeromonas dhakensis selectively kills Vibrio pathogens, like Vibrio cholerae. In the Brun lab, I am developing high-throughput methods to screen for and characterize new antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
In my free time, you can find me exploring museums, urban foraging, or crocheting with my cat.
