Biography
Dr. Rebecca Kochanowsky is a longtime Wildcat. She completed her PhD in the UofA’s Microbiology department, studying how the bacterial pathogen Clostridium difficile responds to stress in the host. Her postdoctoral research through the UofA’s NIH-funded PERT program focused on the bacterial symbionts of insect-pathogenic nematodes and their interactions with other microbes. Dr. Kochanowsky teaches Microbiology courses including General Microbiology and General Microbiology Lab, Molecular Microbiology, and Pathogenic Bacteriology. She hopes that, with the fascinating world of microbes as a backdrop, her courses will help students build a deeper understanding of living things, become more comfortable interacting with data, and develop process skills like collaboration and communication that will benefit them beyond the University.
