Jonas Marschall, MD, joined UA College of Medicine as the chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases

Dr. Marschall, who completed his ID fellowship at WashU in 2009, was appointed the division chief of Infectious Diseases and director of research at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix in October 2024.

While a faculty member at WashU, Dr. Marschall served as Director of Infectious Diseases Epidemiology Research and as such helped the division strengthen that line of research in many ways, including but not limited to working with junior faculty to enhance their research skills and productivity. Dr. Marschall specializes in clinical and epidemiological research in infectious diseases, with a focus on healthcare-associated infections. His research has mostly been on bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, and surgical site infections.

Dr. Marschall will be in the preparation phase of starting an ID fellowship program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, which is slated for 2026.

We congratulate Dr. Marschall and wish him all the best in his role as ID division chief at U of A College of Medicine – Phoenix!
