Virus/Microbe Emergence and Zoonosis
Virus/Microbe Emergence and Zoonosis
UMIID researcher activities include:
- Building a broad species/virus infection atlas of mammalian susceptibility to RNA viruses and defining zoonotic potential for human infection.
- Isolating and characterizing new virus, bacteria, and fungi strains of human concern.
- Developing and evaluating infection models.
- Defining virus and microbe genetic diversity in linkage with disease.
- Conducting high-throughput multiomic analysis of virus/microbe infection.
- UMIID is actively involved with the CREID program to investigate and respond to emerging infectious diseases with our partners at multiple sites throughout the world.
