The former INBRE scholar will graduate with a Ph.D. in May and is the third person from that program to do so.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He came at the beginning of a paradigm shift for our lab that required new technology and Ethan just jumped in head first and mastered it, he was not intimidated at all,&#8221; Dr. Bayles said. &#8220;He&#8217;ll be missed.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mann helped develop new ways of thinking about S. aureus and the role of cell death when it forms a biofilm, tracking its development through confocal microscopy, Dr. Bayles said.<\/p>\n<p>Mann recently accepted a position at The Ohio State University in the lab of Dan Wozniak, Ph.D., who works on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, another biofilm-forming pathogen and major infectious agent in patients with Cystic Fibrosis. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Wozniak has a history of mentoring junior faculty and is successful at getting funding. I&#8217;m looking forward to working with him,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mann credits Dr. Bayles and INBRE for helping him gain the confidence he needed to be a successful researcher. While INBRE gave him the skills to navigate a lab, Dr. Bayles gave him the freedom to pursue his own research interests and still keep focused.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had no trouble getting through my graduate program with the experience I had as an undergraduate,&#8221; Mann said. &#8220;By the time I got to graduate school, I had done so many rotations, I was well prepared. In order to get a head start in graduate school you have to have that experience that INBRE provides.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The moment he joined Dr.
