Dr Evgeny Semchenko (BSc (Hons), PhD) is an Associate Research Leader at the Institute for Glycomics, Griffith University (Australia) and has been working on pathogenic Neisseria since 2013. His key interests are characterising glycan-dependent host-pathogen interactions, investigating their role in bacterial colonization and immune evasion, drug discovery and vaccine development. Dr Semchenko’s current research focuses on solving the urgent problem of multi-drug-resistant gonorrhea by discovering new therapeutics and by developing a vaccine to curb morbidity and the spread of the infection.
