Bio: Dr. Lauring received a PhD in molecular biology in 2000, followed by a MD in 2002, both from the University of Washington. He did his graduate work on FeLV with Julie Overbaugh at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Dr. Lauring completed a medical residency and infectious diseases fellowship at UCSF. Adam’s postdoctoral research in Raul Andino’s laboratory focused on the evolutionary dynamics of poliovirus. He joined the faculty…
Bio: Dr. Ying Taur received his M.D. and M.P.H. from New York Medical College, and completed internal medicine residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. He then completed his infectious diseases fellowship training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, after which he stayed on there as physician-scientist faculty. Dr. Taur’s research involves the study of the intestinal microbiota and its impact on cancer patients. He has received…
Duncan MacCannell is the chief science officer for the CDC’s Office of Advanced Molecular Detection (OAMD), where he helps to coordinate the implementation and support of pathogen genomics, bioinformatics, high-performance computing and other innovative laboratory technologies across the CDC’s four infectious disease centers. With a broad focus on public health laboratory science and strategic innovation, he directs the agency's high performance computing center of excellence, and works to integrate…
Dr Robert Woods is an infectious diseases physician-scientist. The common theme of his research is the study of ecological and evolutionary forces that maintain diversity in pathogen populations by combining theory, bioinformatics, laboratory experiments and clinical data, with the goal to better understand pathogen evolution, predict medically relevant evolutionary phenomena and rationally designing interventions. In his Ph.D. Dr. Woods used experimental evolution with E. coli and computer simulations to understand…
