Dr. Catherine Putonti (PI)
Catherine is a computational biologist focused in the area of microbial evolution, blending traditional bench molecular biology techniques and applied computer science. As such, the line between biology and computer science is often blurred.
Catherine earned her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Houston where she also earned an MS in Biology. She joined Loyola's faculty in 2007.

Genevieve Johnson - Lab Manager
Genevieve joined the Putonti lab in Summer 2017. She completed her BS in Bioinformatics in May 2020 and MS in Bioinformatics in 2021. Genevieve's research is all things Pseudomonas. She is working with several clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa and has discovered several Pseudomonas phages, including the first phage from a kidney stone. Her research integrates computational as well as bench research.
