Eukaryotic microbes, including protists and fungi, are emerging as key members of the microbiome that influence other microbiota and host health in multifaceted ways. Dr. Lind has developed methods to identify eukaryotic microbes in microbiomes, and discovered multiple commensal protists are common members of a healthy gut. Using comparative and functional genomics approaches she has identified key biological principles of these understudied protists.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EHost: Dr. Patrick McGrath\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0022From Commensals to Pathogens: Host-Associated Microbial Eukaryotes Through the Lens of Genomics and Evolution\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022From Commensals to Pathogens: Host-Associated Microbial Eukaryotes Through the Lens of Genomics and Evolution\u0022"}],"uid":"36416","created_gmt":"2023-03-19 10:52:55","changed_gmt":"2023-03-22 21:31:21","author":"fsteward3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-03-23T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-03-23T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-03-23T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-03-23 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-03-23 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-03-23 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Roger A. and Helen B Krone Engineered Biosystems Building, 950 Atlantic Drive, Atlanta, GA  30032, Room 1005","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"188689","name":"Biological Sciences Seminar"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
