Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

A. Scott's research focuses on microbial genetics and the development of genetic manipulation systems for spirochetes, particularly those responsible for tick-borne relapsing fever. This work is supported by multiple grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, totaling $891,450. These grants aim to investigate cyclic di-AMP and di-GMP signaling pathways in Borrelia species, including Borrelia duttonii and Borrelia turicatae, and to develop methods for their genetic modification.

In addition to microbial research, Scott has published on topics related to vaccine hesitancy and uptake, particularly in pediatric populations, utilizing latent class analysis. Recent publications also address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and its association with death exposure, as well as clinical applications such as Letermovir conversion for CMV prophylaxis in transplant patients. Scott has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including James P. Selig, Lawrence E. Cornett, Mohammed Ason, and Brett Rowland.
