Carlos Enriquez, Ph.D.

Detailed Description of this session:

I will bring petri dishes showing microbial growth (fungi and bacteria) in different types of culture media. I will bring also microscope slides with different types of microorganisms.

About Dr. Enriquez:

I began working on water microbiology in 1978. After obtaining my Veterinary degree in 1980 I did research on diseases of young animals (calves and piglets). In Australia I did work on avian viruses; and in Arizona my research was on health-related water microbiology, with emphasis on enteric viruses. In 2001 I moved to the Bay Area where I worked in R and D for the Clorox company. Since 2006 I have been a microbiology Instructor at Chabot College. I hold a patent on the removal of viruses from water by filtration.

Educational Background:

Veterinary degree (B. S.), National Autonomous University of Mexico, 1980; B. Sc. Honours, Virology, 1983, and M. Phil. Virology, 1987, Murdoch University, Western Australia; Ph. D. Microbiology, University of Arizona
