DESCRIPTION:Dr. Caroline Wagner\n\nAssistant Professor\, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University\
 , Department of Bioengineering\n\n \n\nTalk title: ‘‘Accounting for mucin 
 biophysics in models of disease transmission’’\n\n \n\nNumerous aspects of
  disease progression and transmission are intimately related to in-host bi
 ophysical processes\, including an important role for mucosal barriers. In
  this talk\, I will describe three projects in this area. Firstly\, in ter
 ms of host and cellular susceptibility\, we explore the physicochemical pr
 operties of mucus through rheological modeling as well as the development 
 of diagnostics. Next\, I will describe preliminary work in establishing th
 e role of mucosalivary droplets in the viability of pathogens at the point
  of transmission\, once emitted from infectious hosts. The interaction of 
 these processes with climate will also be considered. Finally\, I’ll descr
 ibe our work studying pathogen transport in mucin gels\, with the goal of 
 improving our understanding of the initial stages of host infection\, and 
 temporal pathogen kinetics. Overall\, the host mucin biophysical environme
 nt plays an important role in disease progression and transmission\, and s
 hould be carefully considered in the context of population-level disease m
 odels as well as the design of novel biomaterials.\n\n \n\nThis seminar wi
 ll be given online via Zoom. Details in attached poster.\n
