Richard Buller, Ph.D.
|
|
Research Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Laboratory Medicine
Dr. Buller received his Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of Montana after which he completed an NIH postdoctoral fellowship working in the Laboratory of Persistent Viral Diseases. After finishing a post doctoral fellowship in clinical and public health microbiology at Washington University he joined the Division of Laboratory Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at Washington University, where he currently is the Assistant Director of the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory.
Dr. Buller's research interests center on the use of molecular biology techniques to detect infectious disease agents in clinical specimens. Of particular interest are agents causing central nervous system infections, infections due to cytomegalovirus, and tick-borne infections.
