About
Jennifer Rohn is a distinguished cell biologist and science communicator whose research centers on the molecular mechanisms of bacterial infection and host-pathogen interactions. Her major contributions include pioneering work on the model organism *Dictyostelium discoideum* to study how pathogenic bacteria, such as *Legionella* and *Mycobacterium*, subvert host cell processes. Rohn’s research has elucidated key pathways in phagocytosis, intracellular trafficking, and immune evasion, providing foundational insights for infectious disease biology. Her most cited work, an evaluation of 30-day mortality for 500 patients undergoing non-emergency surgery in a COVID-19 cold site (2020, 7 citations), reflects her adaptability and commitment to addressing urgent clinical challenges during the pandemic. Beyond the lab, Rohn is a passionate advocate for open science and public engagement, notably as a founder of the science blog network *LabLit* and a regular contributor to *The Guardian* and *Nature*. Her impact extends through her leadership in promoting reproducibility and transparency in research, making her a vital voice at the intersection of bench science and societal discourse.
