Tobias Doerr earned his PhD in Molecular Microbiology from Northeastern University, working in the lab of Dr. Kim Lewis. Doerr then conducted postdoctoral training as an HHMI fellow in molecular pathogenesis in the lab of Dr. Matthew Waldor at Harvard Medical School. Doerr started his lab at Cornell in 2016, where my work focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial stress physiology and antibiotic tolerance. Tobias' professional interests are in scientific capacity building in Nepal, and their personal interests include the Nepali language and culture, as well as South Asian arachnid fauna.
