Dr. Sapi is on the front lines of searching for a cure for a disease that the CDC says is the fastest-growing vector-borne disease in the United States. She was the first to discover breakthrough research on the presence of Borrelia biofilm in human infected skin tissue, a finding that was published in the “European Journal of Microbiology & Immunology,” an international peer-reviewed online journal, representing one of her 50 peer-reviewed scientific papers on Lyme disease.
