Feb 20CAIRIBU U-RIG Knowledge Exchange: Bridging Knowledge Gaps in the Urobiome
Maliha Batool, PhD, Keisha Harrison, PhD
(2 PM Central | 12 PM Pacific) Zoom Link
The Uromicrobiota Research Interest Group (U-RIG) includes CAIRIBU and non-CAIRIBU investigators interested in the uromicrobiota. Investigators are clinicians and scientists from a variety of fields including urology, urogynecology, microbiology, microbial ecology, virology, bioinformatics, and computer and data science. The CAIRIBU U-RIG Knowledge Exchange spurs collaborations in the urobiome and adjacent fields. This month's Knowledge Exchange will feature Maliha Batool, PhD (UT Dallas), who will present "Investigating the role of defensins in vaginal epithelial defense against bacterial vaginosis," and Keisha Harrison, PhD (Oregon Health and Science University), who will present "Considerations of techniques and methods required for studying the urobiome."
