Speakers
Dr. Sarah Burgdorf MD, PhD
Infectious Diseases Telemedicine Specialist at ID Connect and Clinical Assistant Professor at UPMC
Dr. Burgdorf completed her M.D./Ph.D. at UC- San Diego and completed her dissertation on the molecular virology of human cytomegalovirus. During her clinical training, she was struck by the high morbidity and mortality associated with severe invasive bacterial infections and sepsis, often in the face of appropriate antibiotic therapy. This led Sara to expand her graduate training in molecular virology to bacterial host-pathogen interactions and experimental therapeutics. During her infectious diseases fellowship at UC-San Diego, she explored the synergies between antibiotics and innate immunity to optimize outcomes.
