BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
1. Therapeutant Development for Aquaculture – Developing aquatic animal models of diseases for drug efficacy testing. Examples include studies of Saprolegniasis, a fungal infection of fish and a fish model of mycobacteriosis (fish TB). We have developed virulence mutants for these Mycobacterium marinum, with the goal of developing stains suitable for vaccines for use in both fish and humans.
2. Pharmacokinetics and Species Grouping for Drug Approvals – Characterizing pharmacokinetic profiles of different fish species to model drugs to develop a rational for grouping fish species for drug approvals.
3. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing - Developing standard methods for testing the antibiotic susceptibility profiles for aquatic microbes. Disk diffusion, agar dilution and broth microdilution techniques are being developed.
