The News Feed podcasters Alycia Baker and Alex Conkey discuss Virginia Tech’s exploration in DNA sequencing advances. Securing a game-changing $200,000 grant from the National Animal Health Health Laboratory Network.
The grant fuels their cutting-edge research in nano-pore sequencing technology, led by Dr. Kevin Lahmers. The primary focus of this funding is to enhance efficiency in managing the massive data generated by nano-pore tech, a promising but costly genomics tool. The grant provides invaluable training opportunities for emerging talents.
Dr. Michelle Todd plays a key role, envisioning the grant’s use in education and training others in the techniques developed at Virginia Tech. Their aim is to empower individuals to diagnose diseases accurately in various organisms
For an in-depth exploration on these groundbreaking research implications for genomics and animal health, tune in to Alycia and Alex’s podcast episode. It delves into how this grant is revolutionizing DNA sequencing and transforming the realm of science and technology.
