DESCRIPTION:Kimberly Kline is a Professor in the Department of Microbiolog
 y and Molecular Medicine at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. From 
 2011-2022\, she was a Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at NT
 U Singapore and a Principal Investigator at SCELSE. Kimberly received a Ma
 ster’s in Public Health and a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from No
 rthwestern University where she studied Type IV pilus antigenic variation 
 in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. She completed postdoctoral training at Washingto
 n University in St. Louis and at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm Swe
 den where she began investigating the pathogenic mechanisms of Enterococcu
 s faecalis. Kimberly has received multiple awards for her contributions to
  the field of microbiology\, including a NIH K99 Career Development Award 
 in 2011\, the Singapore National Research Foundation Fellowship in 2011\, 
 the ICAAC Young Investigator Award from the American Society of Microbiolo
 gy in 2014\, the Nanyang Education Award in 2017\, and election to the Ame
 rican Academy of Microbiology in 2025. Current research interests of her g
 roup include the pathogenic mechanisms of polymicrobial biofilm-associated
  infections\, including catheter-associated urinary tract infections\, wou
 nd infections\, and infective endocarditis. Given the intrinsic phenotypic
  resistance of biofilms to antimicrobials\, her team seeks to exploit thei
 r fundamental discoveries to identify new therapeutic intervention points 
 for these difficult-to-treat infections.\nSpeakers:\nProf Kimberly A. Klin
