David Greenberg, M.D. is a Professor of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center and a Distinguished Teaching Professor. He received his Infectious Diseases training at NIH and served as a faculty member within NIAID. A native Texan, David was recruited back to his home state and joined the faculty at UT Southwestern in 2010. He is a multiyear NIH-funded physician-scientist and is performing cutting edge science across a number of Infectious Disease related domains. His research interests revolve around the increasing crisis of antibiotic resistance. He is actively involved in developing innovative strategies to develop new therapeutics to combat drug-resistant infections. The lab is developing species-specific antibiotics utilizing antisense molecules that remain active in extremely drug-resistant pathogens as well as in the biofilm setting. In addition, he is working to merge rapid sequencing and machine learning techniques to more accurately predict antibiotic resistance in medically important human pathogens. He is widely published and is nationally known for his research. He serves as a reviewer for numerous Infectious Diseases publications, an author for one of the leading Infectious Diseases textbooks and a longstanding member of a NIH Infectious Disease therapeutics study section.
