Background

I grew up in rural central Wisconsin, and my heart is there still. I love being outdoors, ranging from gardening to hiking. 我是果园认证的, 7th-Dan Black Belt in Jidokwon Taekwondo, and regularly teach self-defense classes and Taekwondo classes. For those who have taken the CliftonStrengths analysis of your personality, I am one of the very rare “Woo” personalities in science. I am a Sci-Fi geek, a science nerd, and a rabid Packers fan. I experienced a set of severe illnesses in college caused by microbes, so I became very curious about what had made me so ill, igniting my interest in microbiology. My passion is microbiology and biochemistry, 但也显示了它有多复杂, 交织在一起, and awe-inspiring 生物学 and 生物化学 really are in nature. My wife has a doctorate in Performance Piano and Pedagogy, and has a very successful private studio. We have been blessed with three wonderful children.

研究兴趣

• My main reSearch focus is to determine how Chlamydia can survive in mammalian host cells through small GTPase recruitment. Chlamydia trachomatis causes blindness world-wide and is more commonly known in the U.S. to be the leading cause of bacterial sexually-transmitted infections (STI). Chlamydia replicates by infecting mammalian cells and directing traffic of nutrients directly to the membrane-bound vesicle where the bacteria replicate, 叫做衣原体包涵体. Previous reSearch suggests that many of these trafficking and distribution orders come from small GTPases, a type of cellular protein switch which direct cellular components. Small GTPases such as RhoA and specific Rab proteins are shown to re-distribute to the Chlamydial Inclusion through an unknown mechanism. My reSearch investigates the mechanism by which RhoA and possibly other small GTPases interact with the Chlamydial inclusion. I am currently also reSearching vitamin availability in Chlamydial infections. This reSearch involves aspects of 生物化学, Cell 生物学, Molecular 生物学, and Microbiology.
• 最近, I have started a collaboration with Anthropology and Chemistry faculty in examining human remains through multiple molecular and chemical means to collect detailed information on how the person lived and what infectious diseases they may have been exposed to during their lifetime. This resulted in a fascinating paper detailing a confirmation of syphilis and treatments for a person 100 years ago.
• I regularly conduct reSearch in microbiology with interested and dedicated students. I also welcome the opportunity to work with students on aspects of microbial detection, 微生物生态学, 细菌毒素, 增长, 新陈代谢, and coral microbial disease reSearch. Very little prior experience is necessary - I train you, and work with you to develop a project that you will love to work on.
