bio

Dr. Fisher specializes in the research and treatment of infectious diseases in organ transplant recipients and cancer patients. Specific areas of investigation include risk factors, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of invasive fungal infections and respiratory viral infections. She also focuses on identifying underlying genetic factors that predispose patients to develop severe infections following transplantation.
