This lack of understanding is due to fundamental limitations of existing tools to study microbiomes and microbiome-host interactions. In this talk, I will describe key limitations of existing tools, and I will provide solutions. First, I will discuss the utility of next generation sequencing assays of urinary cell-free DNA for the broad diagnosis of viral and bacterial infections of the urinary tract. Second, I will present a droplet-microfluidics single-cell RNA sequencing technology that enables to catalog the diversity of viral transcripts within infected cells, and at the same time record the cellular response to viral infection. Last, I will discuss a highly multiplexed in-situ hybridization assay that provides a means to map the locations and identities of hundreds of different microbial species in dense microbial communities. I will discuss both translational and basic science applications of these techniques.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis presentation can be seen via videoconference using BlueJeans: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/bluejeans.com\/941589573\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/bluejeans.com\/941589573\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThis seminar is hosted by the Center for Cell Manufacturing Technologies, the Marcus Center for Therapeutic Cell Characterization and Manufacturing and the Center for Immunoengineering at Georgia Tech\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Precision Profiling of Microbiome-host Interactions via Single Molecule and Single Cell Sequencing\u0022 - Iwijn De Vlaminck, Ph.D. - Cornell University"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2019-03-19 16:35:19","changed_gmt":"2019-04-02 14:24:52","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-08-27T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-08-27T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-08-27T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-08-27 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-08-27 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-08-27 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/cellmanufacturingusa.org\/","title":"CMaT"},{"url":"http:\/\/devlaminck.bme.cornell.edu\/","title":"De Vlaminck Lab"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
