Biography

Biography

Timothy Bauler, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. He is a graduate of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Champaign, Illinois. He earned his doctoral degree in microbiology and immunology from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His graduate research focused on the generation of conditional knockout mice to identify novel negative regulators of proximal T cell receptor signal transduction.

Dr. Bauler completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Rocky Mountain Laboratory, NAIAD, NIH in Hamilton, Montana. He used primary human cells and mouse models and BSL-3 containment to identify virulence mechanisms used by the potential bioterrorism agent Francisella tularensis to evade and suppress the innate immune response. His research also examined the mechanism used by Salmonella Typhimurium to cross the blood-brain barrier.
