Assistant Professor
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
Dr. Jeremiah Johnson received his PhD from the University of Iowa in 2011 under the direction of Dr. Steven Clegg. During his doctoral studies, Dr. Johnson demonstrated that the type 3 fimbriae in Klebsiella pneumoniae are controlled through sensing intracellular concentrations of the second messenger, cyclic diguanylate. Following his studies, Dr. Johnson worked as an NIH and USDA NIFA fellow with Dr. Victor DiRita at the University of Michigan, studying mechanisms by which Campylobacter jejuni colonizes animal hosts. After some time as a Research Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, Dr. Johnson started his own group at the University of Tennessee in 2016, where he focuses on studying the host-microbe interface during Campylobacter infection and determining what the long-term implications are for the host.
