(
University of Delaware) Ramona Neunuebel, assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Delaware, has won a prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development Award to support her research on the survival strategies of bacteria. With the five-year, $750,498 grant, NSF recognizes the significant potential of Neunuebel's work, which focuses on how Legionella pneumophila bacteria elude and manipulate the defense systems of the host cells they target and infiltrate.
