From ResearchID.org

Scott Minnich spent his undergraduate years at Washington State University, and graduated with a B.S. in bacteriology and public health in 1975. He went on to earn a masters degree from the University of Idaho and then a Ph.D. from Iowa State University in 1981, both in microbiology. Currently he is Associate Professor of microbiology at the University of Idaho. Dr. Minnich's research interests are temperature regulation of Y. enterocolitca gene expression and coordinate reciprocal expression of flagellar and virulence genes.
