Patient, Public Health, Laboratory, and Tools

 

Dr. Thomas has been a clinical microbiologist since 1969, initiating his laboratory medicine passion as Captain, US Army, Medical Service Corp (MSC), Presidio, CA.

Dr. Thomas has been a strong advocate of "thinking outside the box", while designing and interpreting new laboratory strategies to complement the rapidly evolving world of molecular diagnostics, highlighting the transition from traditional to nontraditional (molecular) methods (culture-OMICs).  This has emphasized virology (his topic of PhD studies), more recently 'outcomes studies' and down-stream benefits of bioinformatics, fashioned to unmask the trends in the human microbiota, a "phyla-based" disease management, incorporating "restorative microbiology" (probiotics).

Dr. Thomas has been recognized as a team builder, innovative leader and passionate thinker about his work. 

Dr. Thomas is certified as a High Complexity Laboratory Director by the American Board of Bioanalysis (HCLD/ABB)

Dr. Thomas has been a member of the Scientific Advisory Counsel for the American Dental Society (ADA) since 2008.
