About Dr. Pablo C. Okhuysen
I have over 30 years’ experience in the study of enteric infectious diseases. I trained as a physician-scientist in Infectious Diseases at The University of Texas Medical School. I am a past Director of the NIH NCRR funded General Clinical Research Center at UT Health/Memorial Hermann Hospital and co-lead the joint UT Houston Medical School NIH CTSA-funded Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences.
I have conducted clinical and translational research in subjects with norovirus infection, travelers’ diarrhea, cryptosporidiosis and HIV and received the Oswald Avery Award for Early Accomplishment from the Infectious Diseases Society of America in 2007. I have gained extensive laboratory research experience in the characterization of bacterial agents of diarrhea, host immune response and genetic susceptibility to enteric infection, as well as with clinical trials with antibiotic and antiviral agents, human experimental challenge studies with enteropathogens and studied naturally acquired intestinal infections in US travelers to developing countries. In 2013, I joined MD Anderson Cancer Center and have established a laboratory dedicated to the study of enteropathogens in patients with cancer. I carry out studies on enteric pathogens and the microbiome in patients with cancer and study host-enteropathogen interactions using human intestinal stem cell derived organoids. I am an active member of the NIH funded Texas Medical Center Digestive Diseases Center.
I am Director for the Transplant and Oncology Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program at MDACC and site Program Director for the UT McGovern Medical School /MDACC and the Baylor College of Medicine Infectious Diseases Fellowship Programs.
