Midori Kato-Maeda, MD, MA
I lead the Mycobacterium tuberculosis research laboratory at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. The first goal of my laboratory is to fundamentally advance molecular diagnostics for pre-XDR and XDR TB by identifying new biomarkers of drug resistance in a rapid and unbiased manner, and by identifying causes that may decrease the efficiency of molecular methods such as the presence of hetero-resistance. The second goal is to determine the contribution of bacterial factors in the transmission and pathogenesis of tuberculosis.
