University Of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Work Values

Daily Duties at University Of Texas Southwestern Medical Center:

Perform scientific studies involving infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria (Burkholderia cepacia complex, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Methylobacterium extorquens, Acidomonas methanolica, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Granulibacter bethesdensis). These organisms cause disease in patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and other immunosuppressed patients, such as those with cancer. A number of these strains have proven to be problematic because of their inherent multi-drug resistance (MDR) to clinically available antibiotics. In collaboration with Sarepta Therapeutics I am developing antisense antibiotics which target essential genes of various pathogenic bacteria to reduce viability in pure culture, tissue culture, and in animal models of infection. These antisense antibiotics are often more potent than many traditional antibiotics. Solely relocated the laboratory to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and continuing experiments on-going from Sarepta Therapeutics and the Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases/Immunopathogenesis Section (IPS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID).
