Biography :

I received my BA in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania, and my PhD in Genetics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I did my postdoctoral research at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where I studied antimicrobial peptides and innate immunity. I was a faculty member at Rutgers University from 1993-2013, and the University of Florida from 2013-2019. Since then, I have been a professor in the Department of Oral Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where I study innate immunity and the development of novel antimicrobial agents.
