A
Acanthamoeba
Acanthamoeba is a microscopic, free-living amoeba that can cause rare, but severe infections of the eye, skin, and central nervous system.
CERID’s research focuses on structural genomic studies through the Van Voorhis’ lab’s affiliated project, the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID).
B
Balamuthia
Balamuthia mandrillaris is a free-living amoeba found in the environment throughout the world. While rare, it can cause a serious infection of the brain and spinal cord that is usually fatal.
CERID’s research focuses on structural genomic studies through the Van Voorhis’ lab’s affiliated project, the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID) and drug design through collaboration with the Kyle lab at University of Georgia (UGA).
N
Naegleria
Naegleria fowleri (commonly referred to as the “brain-eating amoeba”) is a free-living microscopic amoeba.
CERID's work involves structural genomic studies through the Van Voorhis’ lab’s affiliated project, Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease and in collaboration with the Kyle lab at University of Georgia.
