Subsequently, he completed a fellowship in medical and public health laboratory microbiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
His research laboratory primarily focuses on understanding antimicrobial resistance in the setting of the immunosuppressed host and clinical and antimicrobial stewardship outcomes related to implementing rapid diagnostic tests. Westblade is also fascinated by so-called “Weirdobacter weirdii” microorganisms that give clinical microbiologists countless hours of fun!
