A Short Biography:

Dr. Talan is a board-certified EM and ID specialist who is considered an authority in the area of acute infections that result in severe morbidity and death. His research focuses on emergency department-based surveillance and epidemiological research of emerging infections and clinical investigations of acute infectious diseases.  He is principal investigator (PI) of a CDC-supported emergency department-based national sentinel network for research on emerging infectious diseases in the United States called EMERGEncy ID NET, which was established in 1995. He was PI of an NIH contract to study off-patent antibiotics to treat skin and soft tissue infections caused by community-associated MRSA called STOP MRSA. This project resulted in a New England Journal of Medicine paper on the efficacy of adjuntive antibiotics for drained skin abscesses and a JAMA paper evaluating the need to treat for MRSA infection in patients with cellulitis. EMERGEncy ID NET has reported on the emergence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli urinary tract infections. Dr. Talan was co-PI of an NIH R21 pilot study and current co-PI of a PCORI-funded multi-center trial of non-operative management of acute appendicitis. Recently, as co-PI, he received a CDC award to evaluate emergency provider risk of contacting COVID-19 infection. Dr. Talan has been invited to lecture nationally and internationally on infectious disease emergencies and emergency department surveillance and research.
