Our faculty are heavily involved in research and mentoring. Details of basic science and clinical translational science are on our Research page.
Jennifer A. Philips, MD, PhD
Theodore and Bertha Bryan Professor, Departments of Medicine and Molecular Microbiology; Co-Chief, Infectious Diseases Division
- Phone: 314-747-8058
- Email: philips.j.a@nospam.wustl.edu
Dr. Philips is principal investigator of an NIH-funded lab that studies how Mycobacterium tuberculosis evades the host immune response.
Barbara W. Trautner, MD, PhD
Gerald and Judith Medoff Professor of Infectious Diseases, Professor of Medicine, Co-Chief, Infectious Diseases Division
- Phone: 314-454-8354
- Email: trautner@nospam.wustl.edu
Dr. Trautner’s research focuses on diagnostic and antibiotic stewardship, particularly for urinary tract infections (UTIs). She has led trials to disseminate successful antibiotic stewardship interventions, improve the diagnosis and treatment of UTIs in men, develop bacteriophage therapy for UTIs in individuals with spinal cord injuries, and to reduce overdiagnosis of catheter-associated UTI.

Dr. Vazquez Guillamet’s main research interest is in infections caused by mutidrug resistant microbes in critically ill patients. She applies new methods to better stratify and predict the epidemiology, trajectories and outcomes of ICU patients at risk for MDR pathogens
Daniel T. Vo, MD
Assistant Professor of Medicine
- Email: d.vo@wustl.edu
Dr. Vo’s joined the faculty in 2021. His interests lie with HIV/STI/PrEp and Public Health and Implementation Science.
Gary J. Weil, MD
