Public Service

1967 – Founded the International Foundation of Microbiology with the aim of providing public understanding of microbiology. The Foundation is based on the premise that for controlling and managing infectious diseases within a population, public awareness of the role of microbes in health and disease should be the first order of priority.

Activities Relating to Undergraduate, Graduate, and Professional Education

  1. Full graduate status at the University of Illinois Graduate School at the Medical Center.
  2. Advised 18 graduate students and awarded 10 Master’s and 8 Ph.D. degrees.
  3. Member, Science Advisory Committee, DuPage Area Vocational Education Authority (DAVEA).
  4. Assisted in the designing of science curriculum for the laboratory section of the Area Vocational Center in Addison, Illinois.
  5. Past member, Board of Education and Training, American Society of Microbiology.
  6. Designed curricula at various levels of learning relating educational objectives to Microbiology and to the field of Biochemical and Biomedical Technology.

Research

Epidemiology of microbial diseases. Pathogenesis in the face of host defense. Study of the role of toxins and enzymes in disease production.

Seminars

To Honors College, University of Illinois:

  1. Scientific solutions to social, economic and educational problems.
  2. Where have all the economists gone? Why is the kitty not recycling? A comparison of energy and material flow in biological systems versus the flow of money and materials in our human-designed economic system.
