Appointment(s) and Titles:
Associate Professor of  Medical Microbiology and Immunology
Associate Professor of Medicine
Director of Molecular Biology, Center for Research in Anti-Infectives and Biotechnology

Education:
BS: University of Texas, Permian Basin
MA: University of Nebraska at Omaha
PhD: University of Nebraska Medical Center, Eppley Cancer Institute

Research Interests:
Our laboratory is interested in the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, both chromosomal and plasmid-mediated; mechanisms involved in the regulation of gene expression required for AmpC-mediated resistance; molecular mechanisms involved in the resistance of organisms to fluroquinolones; and the molecular detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases in clinical isolates.
