Microbiology refers to the study of organisms like bacteria, viruses, arachae, fungi. and protozoa. It includes fundamental research on biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, ecology, evolution, and clinical aspects of microorganisms including how a host responds to these agents; research mcrobiology refers to the processes used to study microbiology.
In less than nine months, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has killed hundreds of thousands of people, including >23,000 in New York City (NYC) alone. The...
Part I: Introduction and history coronaviruses dating back to the 1980s and coronavirus biology. I will describe the coronavirus life cycle pointing steps that may serve as targets of antivi...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) became a tool to diagnose infectious d...
As part of a large collaborative effort, we have used systems biology approaches to identify host factors that participate in SARS-CoV-2 replication. Protein-protein interactions maps betwee...

While global demand for food is expected to increase significantly (70% by 2050), the agricultural industry is suffering from a decline in soil fertility, the adverse effects of climate chan...
While live cell imaging offers advantages over traditional static imaging, this approach has been challenging for studying microbes due to the difficulty in tracking very small cells in a si...
In Pacific Northwest watersheds several species of Pacific salmonid fishes are hosts for the rhabdovirus infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). In this multi-host ecosystem speciali...
In this webinar, we will present QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench and its utility for bacterial isolate identification, strain discrimination using core genome multi-locus typing (cgMLST) and d...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the challenges of extracting DNA from human samples for microbiome analysis, and learn about the best technologies for accomplishing this 2. Learn about pr...
Enigmatic and often vilified, viruses are now known to play important and possibly indispensable roles in the biology and ecology of cellular organisms. Evidence of viral impacts are everywh...

The selective pressure placed on the resident microbiota by local changes in the host environment – DNA damage, chronic inflammation, metabolic shifts, barrier damage, reduced immunosu...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, is spreading rapidly across the world and was announced as a “global pandemic” by the World Health Organization (WHO) o...
Microbial biofilms form on all aquatic surfaces and can harbor pathogenic bacteria. In the aquaculture industry, Flavobacteria species can cause serious diseases and lead to high mortality....
Viruses are the causative agents of approximately 12% of human cancers. The most recently discovered herpesvirus, Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) is known to cause three human canc...
The microbiome has emerged as a major contributor to human health and disease. Numerous sources implicate shifts in the gut microbiome as potentially pathologic for a variety of autoimmune d...
