Garth Ehrlich, PHD, FAAAS, FAAM

Advisory Member

Dr Ehrlich is Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Drexel University College of Medicine (DUCOM) in Philadelphia, PA, USA.  Dr. Ehrlich is also the founder and director of three Research Centers of Excellence in the Institute for Molecular Medicine and Infectious Disease: the Center for Genomic Sciences (CGS); the Center for Advanced Microbial Processing (CAMP); and the Center for Surgical Infections and Biofilms.  He also directs Drexel University’s Core Genomics Facility, which is a University-wide sequencing and bioinformatics service core, and the Meta-Omics Shared Resource for the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – an NCI-designated Cancer Center. Dr. Ehrlich is editor-in-chief of Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarker, a MaryAnn Liebert Publication, and an associate editor of BMC Evolutionary Biology and the MDPI journal GENES. He has a Google h-factor of 75 with nearly 24,000 citations of his published papers and a ResearchGate h-factor of 70 with an RG Score of 51, and has had six papers cited by the Faculty of 1000. Dr. Ehrlich and his lab have used large-scale comparative genomic technologies to explore the molecular pathogenesis of chronic infectious diseases and the human genetics of susceptibility and resistance to infection, particularly to understand how chronic bacterial pathogens persist in the face of antimicrobial therapy, and the innate and adaptive host responses.
