Dr. Bouyer Donald H. Bouyer, Ph.D.
Pathogenesis and host response mechanisms of rickettsial diseases
Dr. Fang Rong Fang, M.D., Ph.D.
Dr. Fang’s research interests focus on understanding of the immune regulatory mechanisms involved in the inability of the host defense system to control systemic infection with intracellular bacteria, such as rickettsiae.
Dr. McBride Jere W. McBride, Ph.D.
Obligate intracellular bacteria pathobiology, host response, diagnostics, and vaccine development.
Dr. Motin Vladimir L. Motin, Ph.D.
Currently, my major research interest is the pathogenesis of Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of plague.
Dr. Olano Juan P. Olano, M.D.
Pathogenesis of rickettsial and ehrlichial infections.
Dr. Popov Vsevolod Leonidovich Popov, Ph.D., D.Sc.
Ultrastructure of intracellular bacteria and their interactions with host cells.
Dr. Sahni Sanjeev K. Sahni, Ph.D.
The obligate intracellular bacteria belonging to Rickettsia species are etiological agents of the spotted fever and typhus groups (SFG and TG) of rickettsial diseases in almost all geographic locations worldwide.
Dr. Torres Alfredo G. Torres, Ph.D.
Shiga toxin-producing strains of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) are a class of pathogenic E. coli responsible for numerous food- and water-borne outbreaks causing a range of illness in humans, from non-bloody diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis or hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
Dr. Valbuena Gustavo Valbuena, M.D., Ph.D.
Investigation of endothelium-target pathogens, particularly rickettsiae, and the immune mechanisms of endothelial cells lining the vascular system.
Dr. Walker David H. Walker, M.D.
Pathobiology of obligate intracellular pathogens.
Dr. Yu Xue-jie Yu, M.D., Ph.D.
Pathogenesis of obligately intercellular bacteria and the mechanism of persistent ehrlichial infection.
