Chancellor's House E. Poindexter St. I earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Biological sciences and a minor in chemistry from California State University, Chico where I conducted research on parasitic helminthes and the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. I went on to get my Ph. I then did a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Diego where I studied Giardia lamblia, a human intestinal parasite. I then returned to The University of Montana, Missoula where I began research on Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, which is the most common arthropod-borne disease in the United States and Europe.
Shortly before coming to UMW in , I developed the first inducible promoter system available for use in B.
I am currently working to optimize this system in order to regulate B. I teach introductory biology classes and general chemistry, as well as biochemistry, genetics and parasitology. Davids, B.
