SUMMARY:Biological Sciences Colloquium:  Dr. Chris Marshall\, Marquette University
DESCRIPTION:“Adaptations In Biofilms: From Clinics to Climate Change” \nThe Abstract is as follows: \nMy research program addresses two grand challenges in science: antimicrobial resistance and quantifying global biogeochemical cycling. In the first\, I am interested in how diversity and metabolic changes in biofilms contribute to the alarming and expanding problem of antibiotic resistance. In the second\, I study anaerobic metabolisms associated with biogeochemical cycles as a biotechnological and ecological source of innovation. Traditionally these disciplines don’t intersect. I would argue\, however\, that microbial ecology and evolution mediated by metabolic feedback lie at the core of each. Metabolic byproducts can open up new niches that influence eco-evolutionary dynamics and vice versa. Insights into diversification\, resilience\, resource competition\, and cooperation in one system (environment) can inform another (host). Furthermore\, the practical component uniting my research program is the study of ecology and evolution in anaerobic biofilms\, particularly those that experience limiting resources (e.g. mucosal surfaces or natural environments). In addition\, I am keenly interested in developing novel engineered devices and bioinformatic tools to address key scientific questions.

SUMMARY:Biological Sciences Colloquium:  Dr.  Joseph Hoyt\, Virginia Tech
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Hoyt from Virginia Tech will present a talk about his work entitled\, “Sit-and-Wait Pathogens: Environmental Pathogen Reservoirs and Infectious Disease Dynamics.” \nThe Abstract is as Follows: \nEmerging infectious diseases are recognized as a serious threat to wildlife populations\, and pathogen transmission is a fundamental component of disease systems governing the rate and extent of host impacts. Examining data across broad spatial and temporal time scales can help elucidate processes that lead to increases in host infections and subsequent population declines. Combining twelve years of data on host infection\, environmental reservoir dynamics\, and population trends we elucidate the contribution of environmental transmission to infectious disease dynamics for the emerging wildlife disease of bats\, white-nose syndrome (WNS). We find that the environmental reservoir is a key factor influencing bat infection and impacts across local and global scales. In addition\, the experimental removal of the pathogen causing WNS from the environment reduced bat infection and mortality. Finally\, we examined contributions of pathogen virulence to landscape-level disease patterns using both empirical field sampling and experimental infections. We find both pathogen strain and host species were important factors that contributed to variation in prevalence of the pathogen that causes snake fungal disease. More broadly\, our results highlight that determining the diverse processes that underlie patterns of pathogen transmission can serve as points of leverage for managing wildlife disease. \n

SUMMARY:Biological Sciences Colloquium:  Dr. Claire Richardson
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Claire Richardson\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\, will present a talk about her work entitled\, “Sustaining the Brain: Insights into Neuronal Maintenance from Ageless Animals to Lysosomal Degradation” \nResearch Description:    \nAging is the principal risk factor for cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease. From worms to humans\, neuronal aging is associated with decay in cellular function and increased risk for disease pathologies. The Richardson Lab aims to understand the fundamental cell biology underlying neuronal aging\, which will lead to strategies for intervention.

SUMMARY:Biological Sciences Colloquium:  Drs. W.G. Stooksbury and H.T. Millen
DESCRIPTION:Drs. W.G. Stooksbury and H.T. Millen will present a talk about their work entitled\, “Substance Use Disorders and Addiction:  Neurobiological Mechanisms and Treatment Implications” \nThe Abstract is as follows: \nAddiction and substance use disorders are chronic and relapsing conditions characterized by compulsions to seek a substance\, loss of impulse control to limit intake resulting in increasing use\, and negative affective states when access to the substance is unavailable. Substance use is a significant contributor to mortality and morbidity world-wide. Despite the initial report released by the Surgeon General in 1964 regarding smoking and tobacco use\, nicotine continues to be a significant public health risk. In this discussion\, we will cover the current theories regarding the neurobiological mechanisms behind addiction with a focus on tobacco use disorder.  We will explore current FDA approved pharmacotherapies\, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation\, and emerging treatment options\, examining how their mechanisms of action modulate addiction pathways.
