The MGP provide our students and faculty with exceptional opportunities for collaborative, interdisciplinary projects. Research in our programs fall largely under five major focus areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Energy \u2013\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Harnessing microbial processes through molecular, cellular and engineering technologies to develop novel and improved fuels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Environment \u2013\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Sustaining healthy habitats and remediating impacted soils, water and indoor environments through applied microbial processes and new technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Food production and safety \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Ensuring high-quality and safe food production through microbial fermentation, pre- and probiotics, pathogen minimization and safe practices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Human and animal health and disease \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0 Understanding host-pathogen interactions and unraveling fundamental microbial, cellular and viral processes that impact human and animal health<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Microbial diversity and biotechnology \u2013\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Exploring the microbial world for novel insights and opportunities for deriving new biotechnological resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
