Apollo Stacy is a PRAT fellow in the lab of Yasmine Belkaid, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). As a PRAT fellow, he is integrating immunological techniques to explore the host’s contribution to polymicrobial infections. Currently, he is investigating how alterations to the microbiome after primary gut infections can increase the host’s resistance to secondary gut infections by heterologous pathogens. He obtained his Ph.D. in microbiology from The University of Texas at Austin where he developed genomic approaches to study inter-bacterial interactions that enhance the severity of polymicrobial, skin, and soft-tissue infections in the laboratory of Marvin Whiteley. His long-term goal is to continue working on host-microbiome interactions as an independent investigator.
