Benjamin Tanner

Benjamin Tanner holds a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Arizona, where he studied infectious disease transmission with Dr. Charles Gerba. He is currently President of Antimicrobial Test Laboratories, a contract microbiology laboratory specializing in antimicrobial research and development.

Dr. Tanner has served as an expert witness in a range of lawsuits related to infectious disease, and enjoys the impact that solid reasoning and scientific understanding bring to such cases.

In his words, "I love working with bright and innovative people on infectious diseases and control measures. What exites me the most is sharing the science with others. If I can help people to understand microbes better and protect themselves when necessary, then to me that's success."
