Research and Expertise

Research Interests

My research interests are broad and fall within two main categories: diagnostic virology and microbiology; and the impact of laboratory testing and practices on patient management. More specifically, I have worked on the molecular diagnosis of infectious agents, including Bordetella pertussis, Chlamydia trachomatis, enteroviruses, and respiratory viruses. These studies include evaluations of novel commercial nucleic acid amplification technologies. We have also evaluated immunoassays for detection of dengue virus and HIV. The UTMB Clinical enterprise provides access to a variety of interesting patient populations (e.g. transplant, burn wounds, a variety of ethnic groups, pregnancy) that generate evaluations of diagnostic tests, as well as interesting case reports.
