Background

Dr. Gyanu Lamichhane is an Associate Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His research focuses on the bacterial cell wall physiology in relevance to diseases in humans. He studies basic mechanisms associated with cell walls, but with an intent to leverage findings to develop tools that will be useful in the clinic. His group devotes significant effort on developing new strategies to treat mycobacterial diseases. Additionally, a new and significant effort of his research is fundamental but understudied mechanisms that lead to antibacterial resistance.

Patient Ratings & Comments

The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
