Amy L. Leber

Amy L. Leber works in clinical and diagnostic microbiology, focusing on how infections in children—especially respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses—are detected and interpreted in laboratory testing. Her work often examines the accuracy and clinical usefulness of molecular tests (like PCR) for viruses and bacteria such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, cytomegalovirus, rhinovirus, and gastroenteritis-causing pathogens in pediatric patients. Much of this research aims to improve how test results guide real-world clinical decisions in children's hospitals and emergency departments.

Publication output has gradually declined over the past decade, from around 18-20 papers per year in 2017-2018 to roughly 10-14 per year in recent years.
