This project is aimed at adapting a high-performance prototype portable gas chromatograph (GC) to the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled human breath. The instrument incorporates a detector consisting of an integrated array of chemiresistors (CR) coated with functionalized nanoparticles that respond differentially to sorbed vapors to produce a response pattern that aids in vapor.. >> more

Antibiotic resistance is known to spread through person-to-person contact, but an environmental route of transmission may also be important in the current surge in antibiotic resistant infections. By mathematically modeling a person-environment-person pathway, we will provide insight into how antibiotic resistance emerges and is transported through the environment.

Leader: Chuanwu Xi (Ph.D.)
Research in the Xi Lab mainly focuses on biofilms, water quality, and human health. We use molecular and genomic tools to understand molecular mechanisms of persistence and resistance of pathogens in natural, engineered and industrial environments; transmission routes of pathogens from environments to hosts; and their impacts on health of general public and industrial workers. We are particularly interested.. >> more
