Sriram Chandrasekaran, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Seminar abstract: By 2050, we may lose 10 million people a year to drug-resistant infections. Unfortunately, the pace of drug discovery has not kept up with the rapid emergence of these pathogens. Drug combinations have great potential to reduce the spread of drug-resistant bacteria. […]

William Harcombe, University of Minnesota Predicting eco-evolutionary dynamics is vital to our ability to understand and manage critical microbial communities. Using computational models and experimental systems we have found that metabolic mechanisms provide a basis for quantitatively predicting the dynamics of microbial systems. We have found that when microbes cross-feed, obtaining metabolites from one another, […]

Summary: In this seminar I will provide an overview of the evidence for using pharmacogenomics to guide prescribing, present clinical situations where pharmacogenomics could be useful, and describe key considerations for using pharmacogenomics in practice.

Decoding Root Growth to Mitigate Climate Change Climate change will soon profoundly and negatively affect the vast majority of our planet’s biota, including most human beings. Despite the importance and urgency of addressing this problem, we still lack technologies to globally address the root cause of climate change – increased levels of CO2 in the […]
