This paper develops and implements wastewater-based surveillance methods to monitor Influenza A H3N2 and respiratory syncytial virus A in Ontario, Canada, enabling real-time tracking of viral lineages and informing public health decisions.

This study uses comparative proteomics to identify Ca2+-dependent adhesins involved in biofilm development in Pseudoalteromonas tunicata.

The paper reports the complete genome sequence of CpV-BQ1, a phycodnavirus infecting Chrysochromulina parva, and shows its phylogenetic relationship to other viruses in the Megaviricetes phylum.

The paper evaluates nine computational tools for identifying SARS-CoV-2 lineages in wastewater sequencing data using simulated samples, finding most tools reliably detect lineages above 5% frequency.

The paper develops a tiled-amplicon sequencing assay to detect and track ToBRFV in municipal wastewater, revealing its widespread distribution in Ontario, Canada.

The paper shows that promoter strength varies depending on gene context, as demonstrated through plasmid construction and polymer production experiments.

The paper develops S. meliloti strains and vectors to transfer high G+C content DNA to multiple hosts.

This paper develops two bacterial biosensors that detect and quantify silver and copper ions using GFP fluorescence, showing correlation between ion concentration and signal intensity.
