Garth D. Ehrlich, PhD, F.A.A.A.S

Dr. Ehrlich is the Director of the Center for Advanced Microbial Processing in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Drexel University College of Medicine. His research has focused on the field of translational infectious disease medicine. Throughout his career he has developed and/or utilized cutting-edge technologies to improve patient care through more accurate diagnoses and prognoses. He has played key roles in the development of molecular diagnostics (MDx) for more than 30 years. Dr. Ehrlich has also contributed substantially to the theoretical understanding of the biology behind chronic bacterial infections as well as chronic microbial infections. This theoretical construct has been validated as useful model for the understanding of the persistence of infection in the face of both an active immune response and antimicrobial treatment.
