Dr. Philip Tierno aka “Dr. Germ” is the head of microbiology and immunology at NYU. He is the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Germs: Observations and Lessons from a Microbe Hunter. Tierno became internationally known for his work in resolving the mystery of Toxic Shock Syndrome. He is also recognized for roaming Manhattan with Matt Lauer to show him the germs he was in contact with on the TODAY show. He is able to convert his research into language we can relate to and that is why I’m Obsessed with Philip Tierno.
