Microbiologist on the race to detect dangerous infections

Dr. Jose Alexander, medical director of the Microbiology Virology and Immunology Laboratories at AdventHealth Orlando, is on a mission to accelerate the detection of dangerous infections.
Originally from Venezuela, Alexander has always been fascinated by microbiology and understanding “the story that bacteria has to tell.”
In this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast, presented by AdventHealth in partnership with the Orlando Business Journal, Alexander discusses his work — from developing a test that can detect a rare and usually fatal infection caused by a brain-eating amoeba to significantly reducing the detection of other dangerous infections like tuberculosis and “superbugs.”
These efforts have the potential to dramatically improve patient outcomes across the AdventHealth community and beyond.
“We want to change the way microbiology performs in the country and even globally, and we are strongly working in that direction,” Alexander said. “There is a lot to do, and I hope to be part of as much of it as possible.”
AdventHealth has provided whole-person care for 115 years. Today, our services, including cancer, cardiac, neurosurgery, orthopedics and a dedicated women’s and children’s hospital are rated among the nation’s best. Learn more at feelhealthyfeelwhole.com.
