Secret Science Club presents Molecular Biologist Salvador Almagro-Moreno
Join us live via Zoom on Wednesday, June 29 @ 8PM (Eastern Time USA) "Doors" open at 7:30PM
Shhh... everyone on our mailing list will be emailed the Zoom link the night before. To join the Secret Science Club mailing list (or just request the Zoom link), send us an email (secretscienceclub@gmail.com)
The emergence of new, disease-causing microbes is one of the most serious challenges facing humanity. What can be done? Scientists are now working on ways to predict where dangerous pathogens will arise before they cause future outbreaks.
At the next Secret Science Club Online, molecular biologist Salvador Almagro-Moreno asks:
- How do harmless microbes transform into dangerous bacteria?
- What can we learn from past outbreaks and pandemics?
- Are there ways to predict outbreaks before they occur?
- Can better disease surveillance lead to improved therapeutic treatments and new cures?
Salvador Almagro-Moreno is an assistant professor of medicine at the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Central Florida. His research focuses on the emergence and evolution of bacterial pathogens. His lab is multidisciplinary, combining insights from molecular biology, genomics, phylogenetics, pathogenesis, and ecology. Dr. Almagro-Moreno has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors including the National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund’s Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease.
