The summer semester is well underway and lots of exciting work is happening in the lab. Two summer students, Shawnice and Julia, have joined the team as undergraduate thesis students and are set up in our new lab at Trent. With the new team settled in, we will be reviving the blog! The team is currently working on several diverse research projects including:

Wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in correctional facilities
The presentation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine evidence in court
The exploration of equine biosecurity measures
The investigation of Equine Herpesvirus-1 transmission dynamics
The influence of environmental and ecological factors on outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
And much much more!!!

With the team being divided between Peterborough and Guelph, we are eagerly awaiting the installation of our conference screen, which will make our virtual conferences easier and more accessible. We are also excited to announce that Gabrielle is preparing for her PhD defence for her research regarding equine biosecurity measures, which the team is thrilled to attend next month in Guelph. Stay tuned for more posts with further details regarding our projects!
