DESCRIPTION:Disrupting disease\, while promoting health: Bacterial Bioinfor
 matics Battles\n\nFiona Brinkman\, Simon Fraser University\n	Tuesday April 
 4\, 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/86855481591\n\nAbstract: F
 or more sustainable infectious disease control we need a multi pronged\, m
 ore holistic\, approach that is not so combative against bacteria. I will 
 present approaches we are developing that include (1) Better targeting the
  true cause of infectious disease – the virulence factors (2) Better track
 ing the mobility of of such factors (and improving pathogen tracking and d
 isease outbreak risk assessment in the process)\, and (3) Better supportin
 g the “good” bacteria - promoting a good microbiome to support health. Thr
 oughout this\, I will provide examples of our “bioinformatics battles”/les
 sons learned\, as we use an interdisciplinary computational\, molecular bi
 ological and social sciences approach to tackle these challenges. Some of 
 these bioinformatics battles\, including dealing with exponentially growin
 g diverse data\, are broadly an issue in other disciplines. I will end wit
 h what we need to do next to move toward more sustainable\, targeted infec
 tious disease control\, while promoting health.\n
