Dr. Stacy Stephenson-Clarke is a microbiologist and lecturer in the Dept of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences. In 2017 she was selected as an American Society for Microbiology, Young Ambassador of Science to Jamaica. Her Ph.D. research thesis was selected as one of two most outstanding theses for the year 2015/2016. The thesis examined quinolone resistance and gene regulation in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E.coli) bacteria, which are the primary cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) among females, and result in high morbidity and high economic costs. Because many of these bacteria have become resistant to standard antibiotic therapy, the need for alternative treatment strategies arises. Consequently, the development and application of non-antibiotic therapeutics through molecular research provides hope for alleviating the burden of UTIs and optimizing patient outcome.
