Nina van Sorge, PharmD, PhD
Postgraduate Researcher

Nina van Sorge comes to us from the Netherlands where she received her PharmD and PhD degrees at the Utrecht University. Nina's previous research focused on the immunopathogenesis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome and leukocyte and complement activation elicited by ganglioside specific autoantibodies.

Nina works on a diverse set of projects at the host pathogen interface including (1) The interactions of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) glycoproteins and surface carbohydrates with the blood-brain barrier; (2) The influence of anthrax toxins on host cell signaling pathways and transcriptional responses, and (3) the emergence of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in GBS.
