Nicholas M. Moore

Nicholas M. Moore is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medical Laboratory Science at Rush Medical College, Rush University. He also serves as Associate Director of the Division of Clinical Microbiology and Director of the BSL-3 Laboratory. His work focuses on clinical microbiology, antimicrobial resistance, and pathogen genomics, with extensive research collaborations particularly with Dr. Mary K. Hayden and Dr. Sarah Sansom.

Dr. Moore's research interests include:

• Clinical microbiology diagnostics and laboratory testing
• Antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and surveillance
• Pathogen genomics and molecular epidemiology
• Infection control practices in healthcare settings
• Development and validation of diagnostic tests for infectious diseases

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on antimicrobial resistance, particularly regarding carbapenem-resistant organisms and beta-lactamase producing bacteria. He has made significant contributions to understanding the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant organisms in healthcare settings, especially in intensive care units and long-term acute care hospitals. His work often involves genomic approaches to track pathogen transmission and improve infection control practices.

Dr. Moore has received recognition through various metrics, with his publications being cited across multiple platforms including X (formerly Twitter), news outlets, and clinical guideline sources. Some of his work has been referenced in policy documents and clinical guidelines, indicating its impact on healthcare practices.

His research has been supported by collaborations with numerous colleagues, particularly within Rush University and with other institutions in the Chicago area. He has been active in publishing across high-impact journals in infectious diseases, clinical microbiology, and infection control.
