Dr. Southwick is considered one of the pioneers in ID research, as he has in recent years spearheaded work on two national studies to help understand the roots and progression of inflammation upon exposure to an infectious agent. He has also published over 100 articles on this and other topics in major peer-review journals. He is also the author of our Infectious Disease in Thirty days book, which has shown some significant promise with sales over the 1000-copy mark since publication only two months ago.
