Fernando Monroy

Fernando Monroy is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University, focusing on infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and molecular epidemiology. His research spans diverse pathogens such as Helicobacter pylori, Leptospira, and Burkholderia pseudomallei, with a strong emphasis on public health and community partnerships.

• 2025: Investigated H. pylori diagnostic accuracy in Native American populations and rhGH effects on methylation in SGA newborns
• 2024: Studied Leptospira antibiotic resistance genes, glioma mutations, and serological testing for leptospirosis
• 2023: Developed multiplex serodiagnostic assays for melioidosis and explored community-based health initiatives
• 2022: Analyzed H. pylori prevalence and epidemiology in Arizona, canine leptospirosis in Colombia, and multiplex serology methods

His work integrates bioinformatics, molecular biology, and cross-disciplinary collaborations, addressing health disparities in Indigenous communities and advancing diagnostic tools for zoonotic diseases.
