Mara Goodyear, BSc
Mara received her BSc in Microbiology from the University of Guelph and is currently completing her PhD focusing on mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Her project aims to characterize beta-lactamase enzymes expressed in P. aeruginosa biofilms and to investigate the high levels of resistance seen in clinical P. aeruginosa isolates. She is using a combination of imaging and proteomics to understand how clinical isolates respond to antibiotic treatment. Mara currently holds a NSERC CGS-D award. Mara is also interested in science outreach and communication and is the Volunteer Coordinator with Let's Talk Science at the University of Guelph. In this role she works with a team of volunteers to deliver fun and engaging hands-on science activities to children and youth through visits to schools, libraries, and community events. |
