Dr. Angela Gomez-Simmonds is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City. Dr. Gomez-Simmonds’ research interests entail understanding the molecular factors that potentiate the acquisition and dissemination of multidrug resistance among hospital-associated pathogens. Her work with research mentor Dr. Anne-Catrin Uhlemann focuses on developing sequencing-based methods for investigating the epidemiology and transmission of a broad range of MDR Gram-negative bacteria at CUIMC. She is particularly interested in describing the repertoire of resistance gene and associated mobile genetic elements in these pathogens. Additional research interests include identifying clinical risk factors and optimal therapeutic regimens for MDR Gram-negative infections.
