Control of Antimicrobial Resistance Emergence (CARE)
• August 23, 2023
Working Group leader: Esteban Hernandez-Vargas, Klas Udekwu Group members: Alejandro Anderson, Matt Kinahan, Ishmael Staples Originated: July 2023 Description: This working group will develop the mathematical foundations to predict antibiotic-resistant and -susceptible bacteria population dynamics. Computational algorithms will indicate the best chronological order and respective duration of each antibiotic. -
IMCI Seminar Series – Spring 2023
• March 3, 2023
Join us at 12:00 p.m. for coffee and treats before the presentation. “Outsmarting pathogens with protein engineering: Lessons from pertussis, cytomegalovirus and coronavirus” There is growing interest in development of antibodies to provide instant immunity that protects susceptible individuals against infectious diseases, especially pathogens for which no vaccine is yet available. However, many of these… -
Standards of Evidence Working Group
• February 3, 2023
Working Group Leader: Bert Baumgaertner Group Members: Florian Justwan, Kendal Mitton, Chenangnon Tovissode Originated: January 2023 Description: This working group uses both modeling and empirical investigations to understand the role that evidentiary standards play when individuals evaluate claims. We are interested in the systematic ways standards of evidence differ across various types of claims (e.g…. -

Title: Using molecular modeling to assess structural conservation of KP4-Like proteins and their potential as antifungals Project Team: Paul Rowley, Jonathan Barnes Start Date: May 2022 KP4 protein has been used as a potent antifungal drug to reduce the spoilage of commodity crops. While the potential of KP4 has not been fully realized due to… -
Tanya Miura Awarded Modeling Access Grant
• July 14, 2022
Title: Synergistic mutations allow for antibody resistance in respiratory syncytial virus Project Team: Tanya Miura, Jonathan Barnes Start Date: June 2022 This project was initially funded by the NSF EPSCoR Track II Geno-Pheno Grant to use molecular modeling to predict antibody escape variants of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In that work, we identified five novel…
