My name is Thomas Holowka, MD, PhD and I am a Fellow in Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill with research interests in microbial pathogenesis in compromised hosts. My scientific career began with investigations of innate immunity in the laboratory of Edward Pearce, PhD, at the University of Pennsylvania, and lead to doctoral research on the immune response to Leishmaniasis and Malaria in the laboratory of Richard Bucala, MD, PhD, at Yale University. I subsequently attended medical school at Stony Brook University on Long Island before returning to Connecticut to complete my Internal Medicine residency at Yale University. I am currently completing my Infectious Diseases clinical training at the University of North Carolina and conducting research in the laboratory of Luther Bartelt, MD, studying the impact of nutrition and the host microbiota on intestinal colonization with drug-resistant pathogens.
