Kenneth Todar is currently on the teaching faculty of the Department of Bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received a PhD degree from The University of Texas at Austin in 1972. Since 1970, he has taught microbiology at The University of Texas, University of Alaska, and University of Wisconsin. His main teaching interests are in bacterial diversity, environmental microbiology and pathogenic bacteriology.
