Dr. Jose Alexander and the Inspiring Wholeness podcast logo

Dr. Jose Alexander, medical director of the Microbiology Virology and Immunology Laboratories at AdventHealth Orlando, is on a mission to accelerate the detection of dangerous infections.

Originally from Venezuela, Alexander has always been fascinated by microbiology and understanding “the story that bacteria has to tell.”

In this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast, Alexander discusses his work — from developing a test that can detect a rare and usually fatal infection caused by a brain-eating amoeba to significantly reducing the detection of other dangerous infections like tuberculosis and “superbugs.”

These efforts have the potential to dramatically improve patient outcomes across the AdventHealth community and beyond.

Alexander also talks about what inspires him and the importance of mentoring the next generation of scientists.
