About Jason Dean Maarsingh
I completed my doctoral dissertation in the lab of Shelley Haydel at Arizona State University, I used transcriptomics (RNA-seq) and untargeted metabolomics to study mycbobacterial genetic signaling pathways. I then worked as a postdoctoral research assistant in the lab of Melissa Herbst-Kralovetz at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix. Here, I studied cervicovaginal host-pathogen interactions using three-dimensional human cervical cell models, immunoassays, and untargeted metabolomics. Our research aimed to decipher how bacterial vaginosis-associated bacteria influence pro-carcinogenic processes in the context of cervical cancer.
