David E. Nelson studies how the bacterium Chlamydia causes disease, including how it infects host cells, evades the immune system, and adapts to different body environments such as the genital tract, gut, and eye. A separate strand of work involves public health topics like tobacco and cancer prevention training, and some computational biology methods for analyzing proteins and detecting patterns in data.
