This compilation of webinars touch on the various human diseases are most commonly attributed to the subject matter of microbiology, as well as the many microbes that are also responsible for numerous beneficial processes.
Microbes are recently recognized as driving the energy and nutrient transformations that fuel Earth’s ecosystems in soils, oceans and humans. Where studied, viruses appear to modulate...
Genetic Molecular Surveillance is a key component of a modern public health toolkit. This talk will detail the molecular microbial make up of urban environments. It will discuss how these en...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased awareness about sex-specific differences in immunity and outcomes following respiratory virus infections. Strong evidence of a male bias in COVID-...
For centuries, humans have become infected with endemic circulating Coronaviruses (hCoV), typically repeatedly throughout life. To understand how these respiratory infections establish CD4 T...
Self-amplifying RNA replicons are promising candidates for next generation vaccines against human coronaviruses with pandemic potential. Self-amplification of RNAs in host cells generates mo...
Influenza viruses represent a significant burden to human health. In order to limit respiratory viral disease, new approaches that can prevent viral infection and spread are needed. We have...
The Human Microbiome Project was conceived almost 15 years ago, as an extension of the Human Genome Project, to explore the diversity of human-associated microorganisms at multiple body site...
Computational or mathematical modeling generally refers to a mechanism-based formalism that help us test hypotheses, expand our understanding of a system, or make mechanism-aware predictions...
The gut microbiota has been proposed to affect the risk and prognosis of various health outcomes. Related to pregnancy, existing studies suggest that pregnant women have a distinct microbiot...
Innate and adaptive immunity mechanisms provide antiviral protection in mammals. In this talk, I shall present recent findings from my lab and collaborators revealing a distinct form of mamm...
The host antiviral innate immune response involves activation of multiple signaling pathways that result in the production of type I interferons (IFN-I) and inflammatory cytokines, which tog...
Flaviviruses are pathogens of global public health concern. They include dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV), and zika virus (ZIKV). There are no approved US Food and Drug Administrat...

Plant-infecting viruses cause significant losses to agriculture, including to staple crops such as wheat, maize, and rice. Preventing and managing endemic and emerging plant diseases is an o...
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 compromises the immune system and causes in about half of the affected individuals neurological and neurocognitive complication categorize...
Nagy is a Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology, University of Kentucky. Dr. Nagy studies the functions of host proteins and lipids in viral RNA replication. The Nagy lab is using a...
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses an unprecedented challenge for public health, which is caused by infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV...
Date: August 31, 2021 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) Given its ability to isolate pathogens, nuclei, and immune cells for downstream applications, cell sorting is an essential tool for im...
Date: August 11, 2021 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT) Quality can never be assumed, is never automatic, and requires the long-term commitment of the laboratory, staff, and manufacturers. L...
Date: July 28, 2021 Time: 7:00am PDT Bacterial persistence is a potential cause of antibiotic therapy failure. Antibiotic-tolerant persisters originate from phenotypic differentiation within...
