A principal focus of the work has been the identification of diagnostic errors and mechanisms to prevent them. I have been a fatty acid biochemist for 35 years. My early research career included the study of biological mechanisms associated with the conversion of fatty acids into eicosanoids. The focus was to identify the pool of eicosanoid precursor fatty acids in the cell and how they became available for eicosanoid production. I later investigated the covalent association of fatty acids to proteins by thioester linkages with Dr. Laszio Muszek, who was later elected to the Hungarian National Academy of Sciences. My laboratory also included fatty acid related studies involved an esterification product of ethanol and fatty acids, fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE), and fatty acid abnormalities found in patients with cystic fibrosis.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia GCC Consortium for Antimicrobial Resistance (GCC AMR)  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Professor Pathology UT Medical Branch at Galveston
