Bioinformatics & Microbiome Research

Genomic data science miniCUREs, 1UE5HG013799-01

Modernizing biology curricula by developing accessible genomic data science miniCUREs for the AnVIL platform, NIH funded project. Our curriculum is available at www.C-MOOR.org.

USDA collaboration, Poultry Sciences

This project working with collaborators at the USDA's Animal Biosciences and Biotechnology Laboratory (ABBL) to study how microbiomes impact health and disease in poultry populations.

BioDIGS Collaboration, BioDIGS is featured at Notre Dame of Maryland University

BioDIGS (BioDiversity and Informatics for Genomics Scholars) is a massive, nationwide scientific research initiative and educational consortium focused on mapping the United States soil microbiome. By analyzing soil biodiversity, the project helps scientists understand connections between the environment, microbial ecosystems, and human health.

Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) Collaboration

This project works with researchers in the coastal disease ecology lab to better understand the microbiomes that exists in coastal waterways and their role in harboring antibiotics resistance genes.
