Biography
Elaine Petrof is currently working as Associate Professor of Biomedical And Molecular Sciences, Queens University. She has authored and co-authored multiple Peer-reviewed scientific papers and presented works at many national and International conferences.
Research Interest
The Petrof lab is interested in the study of commensal bacteria, probiotics and the microbiome, with a particular interest in C.difficile infection. These investigations will ultimately result in a better understanding of the protective role of commensal gut flora under conditions of inflammation and stress, and lead to novel microbe-based treatment modalities for the management of intestinal diseases.
