Bradley Scholten

2024-25 Global One Health Fellow

About Bradley

Bradley is a fourth year PhD student in the Biology program, advised by Drs. Roland Kays and Martha Burford Reiskind. His research focuses on understanding the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria in songbirds, specifically looking at Salmonella and E. coli – two pathogens that can cause epidemics in both humans and birds. Currently, he is looking at potential sources for where songbirds acquire these bacteria. Ultimately, he hopes his research will contribute to solutions for limiting the spread of antibiotic resistance and zoonotic diseases.

Before starting his PhD, Bradley received his BS in Biology at Calvin University. Throughout his time at NC State, Bradley has enjoyed being a 2020-2021 Genetics and Genomics Scholar and a mentor for undergraduates in research with the Wolfpack Solutions Tiered Mentoring Program. He is excited to join the Global One Health Fellows and be part of such an exciting community and program.
