The Garey Lab

Here at The Garey Lab, it is our goal to perform collaborative, multi-faceted translational research and training surrounding the microbiome, Clostridioides difficile, and other hospital-acquired or antimicrobial resistant pathogens.

Director’s Welcome

Dr. Kevin W. Garey, PharmD, MS, FIDSA, FASHP

The Garey Lab was founded on our belief that disruptions in the healthy balance between our bodies and the microorganisms that live in and on them cause many infectious and chronic diseases.  Our translational microbiology and microbiome lab focuses on three main areas to help address this process: 1) judicious use of antibiotics and diagnostic stewardship to reduce overall antibiotic exposures, 2) new drug development to help us combat infections with multidrug-resistant organisms, and 3) assessment of microbiome changes associated with antibiotic use and acute and chronic diseases.  

On this website, you will find a variety of resources. You will find our current and prior lab group- it is a wonderful showcase of our talent and successful graduates.  We have also highlighted several techniques our lab uses as well as information on the services we offer potential collaborators. Finally, we have our publications and recent presentations available in order to provide our scholarly work to the scientific community and other interested persons.

Please send us a note if you have any questions or interest in collaborating. Thank you for visiting our website!

A history of collaboration & ground-breaking research

We have a history of success in conducting microbiology, molecular biology, and phase I-IV clinical trials. With active collaborations with academic, governmental, and industry partners, we offer high quality resources and expertise.

ongoing trials & volunteer opportunities

Our work depends on volunteers in the community and surrounding hospitals who choose to help advance our science. We are actively recruiting interested persons for a variety of ongoing trials in healthy and sick people.
