Profiles in "Microbiology" Expertise Area

  • Efrem Lim studies the role of the virome in human health and disease. His expertise is in the microbiome in mother-infant health and SARS-CoV-2.
  • Mark’s research seeks to identify microbiome and methane-centric patterns within the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill ecosystem, and promising approaches to shift CH4 productivity from previously landfilled MSW.
  • Grant McFadden directs the Biodesign Center for Immunotherapy, Vaccines, and Virotherapy (BCIVV) at ASU. The McFadden lab studies how poxviruses that cause immunosuppression interact with the host immune system.
  • Within AzCATI, Weiss researches the engineering of large-scale algae consortia for carbon capture and sustainable bioproduction. As ERM faculty, he educates on toxicological management and water treatment technologies.
  • Xiaojun Tian is an assistant professor in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering. Recently, he received the prestigious NIH Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (MIRA) Award and NSF Career Award.
  • Trembath-Reichert is a geobiologist studying microbial life in the deepest, darkest portions our planet to understand its limits, origins and extensibility beyond Earth.
  • Hamilton applies an interdisciplinary approach to quantify pathogenic microorganism in environmental media using multiple culture-based and molecular biology methods, and develops risk models.
