Judy Arbique - Profile

I graduated from Medical Laboratory Technology training in 1979 and since then obtained advanced recognition in clinical microbiology from the Canadian Society of Medical Laboratory Sciences (CSMLS), clinical laboratory scientist certification from the National Credentialing Agency (NCA), and an undergraduate degree in health sciences from Dalhousie University. My love for microbiology has grown exponentially through my years in the laboratory. My specialty areas include human bacteriology and parasitology, but my interests also extend to virology and mycology, infections in animals, and environmental microbiology.

I have participated in a number of research projects related to clinical bacteriology, have presented at international microbiology conferences, written for professional journals and trade journals, and have been active as an educator. Further details of my writing experience can be obtained by accessing my personal information on my website (I partner a company that provides customized training for healthcare professionals in laboratory related issues).

To balance my nerdy laboratory attributes, I have a sensitive artsy side that finds me writing songs and performing them for whomever will listen.

I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and although I love being a Nova Scotian, look forward to opportunities to travel and appreciate new experiences.

I look forward to sharing my micro-curiosity with you, and encourage your questions and comments.
