Education
Postdoctoral Research Associate, Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University, 2005-2008.
Ph.D.: Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport 2004.
B.Sc.: Microbiology, Mississippi State University, 1998.
Research Program
My field of study is microbial pathogenesis, and I have recently begun collaboration with Dr. Eric Anderson, also a member of our department, to investigate the regulation of siderophore biosynthesis as it relates to the virulence of the intracellular bacterial pathogen Brucella abortus.
