We are excited to announce that we have won the first research grant as co-PI from the College of Health & Human Performance at the University of Florida. As highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, certain regions are more vulnerable to infectious diseases, depending on various factors, such as socioeconomic status, demographics, public health infrastructure, geographical locations, and more.  We aim to identify the critical determinants of regional disease vulnerability through the integration of wastewater-based epidemiology and artificial intelligence models. This research will provide valuable insights, enabling public health officials to better prepare for disease outbreaks by strategically allocating resources and prioritizing preventive measures.

We have set up laboratories capable of handling biological agents in the Biosafety Level 2 risk group at Black Hall, the University of Florida. Our facilities are equipped with advanced tools for pathogen culture/propagation and molecular biological experiments, including digital PCR.

Oh Lab will embark on our new journey in August, 2023, in the Department of Environmental Engineering and Science at the University of Florida.
