Bio
Dr. Celli obtained his PhD from the Universite Pierre & Marie Curie, Paris 6, France in 1997. His thesis focused on genetic mobile elements that transfer antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria. He moved in 1998 to Vancouver, Canada, for a postdoctoral position in bacterial pathogenesis in the laboratory of Dr. B. Brett Finlay at the University of British Columbia, where he studied how Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) prevents its uptake by immune phagocytes. In 2001, he obtained an INSERM Research scientist position and joined the group of Dr. Jean-Pierre Gorvel at the Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy, France, where he started studying the intracellular cycle of the zoonotic bacterial pathogen Brucella abortus. In 2004, he obtained an NIH investigator position at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories, NIAID in Montana, where he continued his studies of bacterial pathogen interactions with phagocytes, focusing on Brucella abortus and Francisella tularensis. Dr. Celli was recruited to the WSU Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health in July 2013, to further pursue his research on the pathogenesis of zoonotic bacteria.
Ramsey Lecture Series
The series is named after Dr. Frank Ramsey (1910-1992), a former head of the Department of Veterinary Pathology, who established an endowment in the College of Veterinary Medicine. The series is intended to bring accomplished and leading animal and human health researchers to campus to share their work and experiences with faculty, staff and students.
