Background
Dr. Kristina Feye earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Texas Woman’s University, followed by a Master of Science in Biology—with a focus on Molecular Biology— from Stephen F. Austin State University. She earned a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences (Pharmacology) from Iowa State University and has a strong background in microbiology and immunology. She then held a postdoctoral fellowship in food safety at the University of Arkansas as well as a postdoctoral appointment in Immunology and Food Safety at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Dr. Feye joined FDA’s National Center for Toxicological Research in the Division of Microbiology in 2022.
Research Interests
Dr. Feye’s expertise lies at the nexus of physiology, molecular biology, and genomics. Her research program primarily focuses on using traditional benchtop and cutting-edge bioinformatics approaches to study the host-microbiome-pathogen axis across the OneHealth spectrum. Additional interests include investigating how different pharmaceuticals, supplements, foodborne pathogens, or diets influence that axis. Dr. Feye is continuously working to expand her already broad background of interests and apply it to mission critical research at the FDA.
