Dr. Jacob is Associate Professor of Medicine at the Emory University School of Medicine. His research focuses on two major, related areas of healthcare epidemiology related to multi drug resistant pathogens: 1) understanding the risk factors for, and outcomes of, infections caused these organisms, especially as it relates to antibiotic stewardship; and 2) preventing the transmission of these pathogens causing healthcare-associated infection, particularly environmental assessment and interventions, including serious communicable diseases.
