Happy Researching Moments
Feb 6, 2024. New paper out🎉! Happy to share our recent work talking about a wastewater screening and clinical surveillance of virus-related diseases in metropolitan Detroit, MI using the metagenomics approach is published in journal Human Genomics. In this work, we tried several bioinformatics tools and platforms back and forth to investigate the occurrence of human viruses at different taxonomic levels with accuracy and confidence.
Nov 12-16, 2023. Thrilled to have the opportunity to give a talk on my research in the 44th SETAC annual meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. Also had some fun memories in Loo-a-vul😀!
Oct 24, 2023. Paper accepted🎉! Very happy that our work talking about the effect of wastewater collection and virus concentration methods on assessment of viral diversity with the sequencing approach is accepted for publication in journal Sci. Total Environ.
Oct 11-13, 2023. Had a great experience at the 6th International Viromics Workshop at OSU in Columbus, OH. Learnt a lot about pros and cons of several virus identification tools and platforms, virus classification and taxonomy. Getting closer to the accurate identification of viruses with the viromics approach. Exciting things ahead!
Oct 1, 2023. Attended the Wastewater Disease Surveillance Summit in Chicago, IL with Liang. Listened to several impressive wastewater surveillance stories in the COVID-19 pandemic era. "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
