Four Months, No Answers—Until One Test Changed Everything
Four months! That's how long a 14-year-old boy and his family endured a medical mystery that nearly cost him his life. What started as seemingly routine symptoms - fever and…
Read article →I write and speak about advanced diagnostics, the microbiome, antimicrobial resistance, emerging therapeutics, HIV, and the technologies changing how we understand and care for infection.

Scientific advances are expanding what is possible in infectious diseases. New technology alone, however, is not enough. We also need to recognize the patterns shaping how we think, question whether familiar approaches are sufficient, and remain open to what evolving science can teach us. My work explores the intersection between established clinical practice and what is becoming possible.
Articles, clinical stories, and perspectives organized by the questions shaping the future of the field.
mNGS, molecular diagnostics, sequencing, culture-negative infections, and diagnostic access.
Microbiome stewardship, C. difficile, antimicrobial effects, colonization, and prevention.
Case-based infectious disease education where every case tells a story.
Antimicrobial resistance, bacteriophages, and novel therapeutic approaches.
HIV education, PrEP, U=U, prevention, emerging therapies, and access.
AI, emerging technologies, precision approaches, prevention, and forward-looking commentary.
