Health: as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, as it may have limited value for implementation. Health may be defined as the ability to adapt and manage physical, mental and social challenges throughout life.
This presentation “SARS-CoV-2 Related Workflow and Solutions: Detection and Genotyping” will focus on strategies for the testing and detection of SARS-CoV-2, including multiplexe...
By examining the host response to SARS-CoV-2 infection we gain valuable insights into viral pathogenesis and COVID-19 progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small (18-22nt), non-coding...
Join me, an applied epidemiologist with boots on the ground, as we review key discoveries learned from the reopening of sports, entertainment and the arts. The four pillars of reopening incl...
We use COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and mortality data and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories o...

There is considerable research being conducting on the topic of health disparities. It is important to understand why these health disparities exist as well as what is contributing to so man...
African American women face a lower risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer as compared to Caucasian-American women, yet they paradoxically face an increased breast cancer mortality hazar...

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...
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...
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...
Technological advances such as single-cell RNA sequencing accelerated our understanding of cellular diversity in tissues. However, the ability to elucidate this cellular heterogeneity while...
Emerging data from several expansive clinical trials indicates that common chronic vascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and age increase the risk of stroke and deme...
The increasing burden of neurological disorders as our population ages, together with the high personal and societal costs of mental and substance use disorders, underscores the need for new...
Targeted stimulation of the brain has the potential to treat mental illnesses but designing an appropriate protocol requires a multitude of choices. I will describe an approach to help desig...
