He contributed to the formation of the Iowa's Lab Advisory Committee, which is now a subcommittee of the state's Preparedness Advisory Committee. In 2006, Dr. Pentella was appointed to his current post at UHL. Dr. Pentella earned his Ph.D. in infectious disease from the University of South Florida, and his master's degree in clinical microbiology from Thomas Jefferson University. He earned his bachelor's degree in microbiology from Ohio State University.
