Title: "Exploring How to Develop Broad Neutralising Antibodies"

By: Dr. Rowena Bull, UNSW Sydney

Please join Pete Coppolillo, Ph.D., Executive Director of Working Dogs for Conservation (WD4C) based in Missoula, Montana, for an overview of the ways WD4C’s specially trained dogs are helping to move conservation forward here in North America and around the world. Dr. Coppolillo will share stories about finding rare and endangered species, helping to stop diseases affecting wildlife and people, and about combining cutting edge technology with skilled dogs to stop wildlife crime. He’ll also discuss how all of these techniques are helping Native and Indigenous communities to capture greater...

Please join Pete Coppolillo, Ph.D., Executive Director of Working Dogs for Conservation (WD4C), for an interactive conversation about dogs detecting diseases in humans and wildlife. Pete will discuss WD4C’s current and past health work (e.g., projects on Ebolavirus, brucellosis, chronic wasting disease, SARS-CoV-2, and Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae) and lessons learned, and will share some thoughts on developing robust approaches to future disease work. This will be an interactive conversation that will hopefully lead to new research questions and collaborations.

The Cornell K. Lisa Yang Center for Wildlife Health, with programs around the globe, strives to sustain a healthier world by developing and implementing proactive, science-based solutions to challenges at the interface of wildlife health, domestic animal health, human health and livelihoods, and the environment that supports us all.

This session takes us to Antarctica. For a long time considered a “clean” environment, research has shown that viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens thrive in Antarctica. Some of them have always been there, but others have recently emerged due to human activity...

Title: "Illuminating the Microenvironments That Shape the Immune Response"

By: Dr. Michael Gerner, University of Washington

Cornell Center for Antimicrobial Resistance Research & Education Fall Seminar Series 2024

“The intersection of nutrition and infection at the host-pathogen interface”

Cells require nutrient metal to carry out essential biochemical processes. This requirement is something that the immune system has exploited to defend against infection by restricting microbial access to metal. This process of nutrient restriction during infection is called “nutritional immunity”. Bacterial pathogens evolved elaborate mechanisms to circumvent nutritional immunity and acquire metal during infection. This...

Presented by Dr. Katherine Anderson, Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell Duffield Institute for Animal Behavior

Drugs are commonly used in horses for infection, pain, endocrine disorders, and a variety of other conditions. But what about behavioral disorders? In this webinar, Dr. Anderson will delve into considerations for behavioral medications in horses with stereotypies, anxiety, aggression, sleep deprivation, and other conditions. She will discuss when medications might be appropriate, which drugs to consider (and which ones to avoid), and how they work.

Title: "Themes and Variations of Stress-Signaling Alarmones in Bacteria"

By: Dr. Jade Wang, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Cornell Center for Antimicrobial Resistance Research & Education Fall Seminar Series 2024

“How can we find antibiotics with new mechanisms of action?”

The rise in resistance to known antibiotics has made developing new approaches to combatting bacterial pathogens increasingly urgent. I will discuss work from my lab that aims to address this unmet need by bringing quantitative and biophysical perspectives to the problem. For example, we have combined machine learning and morphometric studies to design screens for antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action. Meanwhile, novel methods for single...

Title: "Understanding and Preventing Early Life Infections: Challenges in CMV and HSV Infection"

By: Dr. Margaret Ackerman, Dartmouth

Most existing and emerging infectious diseases have their origin in animal populations. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic the need to understand the cause and impacts of wildlife diseases, as well as how to manage them, has only become increasingly salient.

Join us for a live, hybrid Chats in the Stacks book talk with Robin Radcliffe, associate professor of practice in Wildlife and Conservation Medicine in the Veterinary School, and David Jessup, former senior wildlife veterinarian of the California Department of Fish and Game and former executive manager of the Wildlife Disease...
