Dr. Minion's research interests focus on the molecular basis of bacterial pathogenesis and persistence of bacterial pathogens in domestic animals. Major emphasis is on pathogenomics, identification of virulence factors, gene profiling, and development of molecular vaccines.

But Minion, a researcher at ISU's Veterinary Medical Research Institute (VMRI), is thought to be the first to sequence animal mycoplasmas. His work should speed research that someday may lead to vaccines and other intervention strategies to control the microscopic pathogens.
