Modeling Chlamydia Infection in Mice

Working Group leader: Lihong Zhao

Group members: Yusuf Omoson (Morehouse School of Medicine), German Enciso (UC Irvine), Ming Tan (UC Irvine), Scott Grieshaber

Originated: April, 2019

Description:

This working group is interested in using mathematical modeling to understand the association of microbial dynamics in the genital tract of female mice with Chlamydia infection. They will analyze sequencing data when it becomes available and plan to submit a manuscript. They would also like funding to continue the project and plan to submit a proposal.
