Research Interest
The mission of Dr. Doi's laboratory is to identify and investigate antimicrobial resistance of clinical concern among gram-negative bacterial pathogens. The areas of research include the genetic and molecular basis of emerging antimicrobial resistance mechanisms; the rapid diagnosis of resistance using phenotypic, genetic, and lipidomic approaches; and inhibitor-based drug discovery. Current efforts are focused on colistin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii, a problematic healthcare-associated pathogen, and fosfomycin resistance in Escherichia coli, the predominant cause of urinary tract infection in both healthcare and community settings. The latter work has expanded into drug discovery effort aimed at reversing resistance using an inhibitor-based approach.
Clinical Interest
Dr. Doi rounds on the general infectious diseases consult services as an attending physician and provides teaching on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms.
Educational Interest
Dr. Doi is involved in the Medical Microbiology course for the first-year medical students.
