Simon Anthony, Ph.D.

  • Associate Professor
  • VET MED: Pathology, Microbiology & Immunology
Research Interests: Dr. Anthony's research focuses on zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases, and specifically on the discovery, ecology, and evolution of viruses. He is interested in the factors that increase the risk of disease emergence in new hosts, including host or viral traits, and in the eco-evolutionary mechanisms that shape patterns of variation across scales.

David Asmuth, M.D., Ph.D.

  • Professor of Medicine
  • MED: Internal Medicine
Research Interests: Research area focuses on immune reconstitution follow intiation of antiretroviral therapy and immunomodulatory therapy including therapeutic vaccines and cytokine therapy

Sanchita Bhatnagar, Ph.D.

  • Associate Professor
  • MED: Microbiology & Immunology
Research Interests: My research program is driven to understand the mechanism of epigenetic silencing in mammalian cells. The long-term goal of my research program is to gain valuable insights into the aberrant epigenetic modifications in diseased conditions and use this information to develop novel therapeutics for breast cancer and X-linked neurodevelopmental diseases. We are driven to develop cutting-edge tools, reagents, and therapeutics for key areas of medical research, with an emphasis on Rett syndrome and triple-negative breast cancer.

Heather N. Bischel, Ph.D.

  • Associate Professor
  • Civil and Environmental Engineering
Research Interests: Resource-oriented sanitation; pathogens and micropollutants; wastewater-based epidemiology; rapid detection of viruses; PFAS bioaccumulation; sustainable international development; water quality and reuse; environmental health; natural systems.
