M. Donald Cave, Ph.D.

Dr. Cave

Title
Professor Emeritus

Post Doctoral Training
Postdoctoral Fellowships, Genetics Institute, Lund Sweden and Max-Planck-Institute, Tubingen, West Germany.

Major Interests
Probes for the diagnosis and molecular epidemiology of diseases caused by bacterial pathogens

Research Interests
M. Donald Cave’s work was directed towards the development of molecular biology based tests for microbial pathogens. Particularly was involved in development of tests for mycobacterial pathogens (e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and for certain food-borne pathogens (e.g. Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp). In collaboration with K. D. Eisenach, Ph.D. (Dept. of Pathology) and J.H. Bates, M.D. (Arkansas Department of Health) a rapid test for identifying M. tuberculosis in clinical samples and a means for fingerprinting strains of M. tuberculosis were developed.
