Leslie Suarez (m. 1989) |
David Lee Suarez (born 1964) is an American virologist and immunologist.
Suarez obtained a degree in veterinary medicine in 1988 from Auburn University. He obtained his PhD from Iowa State University in veterinary microbiology in 1995. He is board certified in the American College of Veterinary Microbiology in both virology and immunology. From 1988 to 1991, he worked as an associate veterinarian at Quintard Veterinary Hospital in Anniston. He remains a licensed veterinarian in the state of Iowa. He was a post-doctoral research associate at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, New York. He joined the Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, Agriculture Research Service, USDA, in 1995 as a veterinary medical officer.[1]
Suarez is most widely cited for his involvement in creating a real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RRT-PCR) assay based on the avian influenza virus matrix gene for the rapid detection of type A influenza virus and a RRT-PCR test for Newcastle disease virus in birds.[2] Both assays were widely adopted nationally and internationally, and have been a critical tool for the control of outbreaks of these viruses in the United States. Since 2005, Suarez has been the research leader of the Exotic and Emerging Avian Viral Disease Research Unit at the Southeast Poultry Research Lab (SEPRL) in Athens, Georgia.[3] Since 1996, he has held the position of adjunct instructor in the Department of Infectious Diseases, University of Georgia.[4]
