About:	Dr. Arshad Rizvi received his Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry at the University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad, India in 2019.). During his doctoral studies, Dr. Rizvi used the metabolomics approach (NMR and LC-MS/MS) to understand mycobacterial adaptation to microbicidal stress. Further, he had used the metabolomics approach to identify tuberculosis biomarkers. Dr. Rizvi did his 1st postdoctoral position at Wellcome Wolfson Institute for Experimental, Queens University, Belfast, NI, UK. He elucidated molecular mechanisms of Legionella effector, which manipulates the host. In September 2021, Dr. Rizvi joined the McBride lab as a postdoctoral fellow at Emory University. The focus of Dr. Rizvis research at McBride lab is to identify metabolite(s)/ metabolic pathways important for Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) sporulation, a key characteristic for C. difficile pathogenesis. This work will expand our understanding of how metabolites and metabolic pathways of C. difficile impacts sporulation. When not working, Arshad likes to spend time with family.
