UConn Researcher Develops Town-Level Model for COVID-19 in Connecticut UConn researchers have created the first COVID-19 model to focus on the town, rather than the state or national level. Simulated cases by end of 2020. (Contributed by Peter Chen) Copy Link UConn professor of geography Peter Chen has published a study in the January 2021 issue of the International Journal of Geographical Information Science outlining a comprehensive predictive model for COVID-19 in every Connecticut town based on travel behaviors. This model, named the MSEIR model, is a major contributio...

Patricia Diaz, Empire Innovation Professor School of Dental Medicine The human body is filled with friendly bacteria. However, some of these microorganisms, such as Veillonella parvula, may be too nice. These peaceful bacteria engage in a one-sided relationship with pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, helping the germ multiply and cause gum disease, according to a new UB-led study. The research sought to understand how P. gingivalis colonizes the mouth. The pathogen is unable to produce its own growth molecules until it achieves a large population in the oral microbiome — the community of mi...

Microbiome study: Gum disease-causing bacteria borrow growth molecules from neighbors to thrive Patricia Diaz, DDS, PhD, Professor of Empire Innovation in the UB School of Dental Medicine and director of the UB Microbiome Center. “Successfully targeting the accessory pathogen V. parvula should prevent P. gingivalis from expanding within the oral microbial community to pathogenic levels. ” Patricia Diaz, DDS, PhD, Professor of Empire Innovation and director, UB Microbiome Center School of Dental Medicine BUFFALO, N.Y. – The human body is filled with friendly bacteria.
