Zürich Area, Switzerland

I used cell culture, mouse models of infection and human clinical samples to study the effect of co-infection and antibiotics on Chlamydia and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections.

Johnson City, Tennessee

I used cell culture and mouse models to study the effect of antibiotics, other drugs and co-infection on chlamydial infection.

Gainesville, Florida Area

I studied ion transport in the context of gastrointestinal physiology- specifically the expression/function of oxalate transporters and changes in this expression/function in response to intestinal colonization with the commensal bacteria Oxalobacter formigenes.

I studied Chlamydia, an obligate intracellular bacteria associated with both asymptomatic infections and a broad range of animal and human diseases- ocular, respiratory, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and more.

Johnson City, Tennessee

I studied microsporidia, a spore-forming intracellular opportunistic parasite that infects humans and a wide range of other animals.

As a technician, I performed clinical diagnostic microbiology, including parasitology, bacteriology and mycology. Specifically, I have experience in microscopy, bacteria and yeast isolation and identification, antimicrobial and botanical sensitivity testing, enzyme immunoassay, reportable organisms and quality control.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Biomedical Sciences, Microbiology
