Description
Summary * Microbiologist with over 20 years of expertise in virulence mechanisms of bacterial pathogens. Work has contributed significantly to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of virulence of several classes of diarrheagenic E. coli, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Brucella abortus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and others. * Highly-cited researcher with over 70 peer-reviewed publications in prestigious scientific journals (Science, PNAS, J. Clin Invest, Mol. Microbiol, J. Biol. Chem, ASM nournals). * Principal Investigator in NIH-funded research grants to study fimbrial structures of Shiga- toxigenic E. coli O157:H7. * Lecturer in graduate courses: General Microbiology, Immunology, Cell Biology, Bacterial Pathogenesis For almost 20 years I have taught and directed courses on Medical Microbiology Molecular Bacterial and Pathogenesis to medical (class >100 students) and graduate (class 6-12) students as well as Cell Biology and Immunology to undergraduate (class >40) students.
