He completed his internal medicine training and fellowship in infectious diseases Washington University School of Medicine before joining the faculty in the Infectious Diseases Division in 2001. He currently serves as the Hospital Epidemiologist for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Research Interests Dr. Warren's research interests center around the epidemiology and prevention of nosocomial infections. An area of research that he is currently engaged in is to better understand risk factors for colonization and infection with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria among hospitalized patients, particularly methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and to develop methods of preventing the continuing spread of these organisms within healthcare and the community, including implementing rapid molecular diagnostic assays for the detection of MRSA colonization. He is involved in a multicenter study of the effectiveness of use of a daily chlorhexidine skin preparation in reducing nosocomial infections. He is also interested in determining prognostic indicators for bloodstream infections among hospitalized patients, with special emphasis on Staphylococcus aureus. Dr. Warren is currently funded by a National Institutes of Health Career Development Award and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
