Influenza Systems Biology Laboratory. Our lab is affiliated with the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine; Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, College of Engineering; and Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition, Wan Lab is affiliated with the Center for Influenza and Emerging Infectious Diseases (CIEID), Bond Life
Sciences Center, and Institute for Data Science and Informatics at MU. The Wan Influenza Systems Biology Lab is physically located at the MU Bond Life Sciences Center. Our lab integrates clinical, experimental, computational, and translational approaches to study influenza and SARS-CoV-2, with the goals of improving vaccine and antiviral strategies, mitigating epidemic outbreaks, and enhancing pandemic preparedness.
Our lab has access to a newly established large ABSL-2 animal facility for CIEID, designed to study influenza transmission and vaccine efficacy studies with controlled humidity and temperature settings. We also utilize the BSL-3 and ABSL-3 facilities at the Laboratory for Infectious Disease Research (LIDR), a 32,403 sq. ft. Regional Biocontainment Laboratory, approved for work with select agents and toxins. MU also
houses multiple core facilities, such as Electron Microscopy Core Facility, Charles W. Gehrke Proteomics Center, Metabolomics Center, Molecular Interaction Core, Cell & Immunobiology Core, DNA Core Facility, Informatics Research Core Facility, and Molecular Cytology Core. These resources provide cutting-edge support for advanced imaging, proteomics, metabolomics, and computational modeling, fostering high-impact
interdisciplinary research.Responsibilities:The successful candidate will work on projects, which will be involved in one or more of the following areas: 1) Viral Transmission: Investigating the molecular and biophysical mechanisms of virus aerosolization and airborne transmission. Developing animal models to characterize and predict viral spread in different environments. 2) Vaccine Effectiveness and Precision
