I am an assistant professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy's Medication Outcomes Center. Currently, my research focuses on comparative pharmacoepidemiology of treating multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. My interests are infectious disease study methodologies and leadership/change...
In these multiple images of P. aeruginosa biofilm a bacterial community that takes the form of mushroom-like structures. The main, upper left image looks down at the biofilm, the lower, right-hand images show cross-sections. This biofilm was cultured from the airways of a patient with cystic fibrosis.
Nearly every human bacterial infection—including some of the most serious, life threatening, and costly to treat—can take the form of a biofilm, in which bacteria aggregate into structured communities that enclose themselves within a secreted slime.
I specialize in the treatment of multi-drug resistant infections. My area of research is in the pharmacodynamic optimization of antibiotics for the treatment of multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. I am particularly interested in the treatment of bacterial...
I am a mathematical modeler and statistician with research interests in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and mathematical/statistical methods development.
