Chad Welsh is an Associate Professor of Biology at Lindenwood University's College of Science, Technology, and Health. His office is located in Young Hall 212. He teaches courses such as Microbiology for Health Sciences, Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology, and Biochemistry: Metabolism. His research focuses on microbial pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, and Legionella pneumophila biology. Notable work includes studies on Legionella's effects on macrophage signaling pathways and the development of diagnostic methods for bacterial identification. Welsh has contributed to laboratory manuals used in educational settings.
- Education: No specific details provided in the text.
Research interests include understanding how pathogens manipulate host cell signaling, with a focus on Legionella pneumophila's mechanisms for survival and replication within macrophages. His laboratory studies signal transduction pathways (e.g., SAPK/JNK and p38) activated during bacterial infection and their role in host cell apoptosis. Welsh has also explored diagnostic techniques like immunogold assays and in situ hybridization for microbial detection.
Publications span from foundational laboratory manuals to peer-reviewed studies on microbial pathogenesis, emphasizing both educational resources and cutting-edge research. His work bridges clinical microbiology and cellular biology, addressing practical diagnostic challenges and fundamental mechanisms of infection.
- Awards: None explicitly mentioned.
Advising and grants: No student advisees or grant details provided. Teaching responsibilities include multiple sections of microbiology and biochemistry courses, reflecting his role in both undergraduate and health sciences education.
