Dr. Anna Green
Assistant Professor
Manning College of Information & Computer Sciences
University of Massachusetts Amherst
Host: Peter GogartenGenomics and evolution of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The evolution of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, presents a pressing global health challenge. In this talk in will discuss my group’s work on computational methods that integrate whole genome sequences, protein structure, and evolutionary information to improve our ability to diagnose resistant strains from sequencing data, as well as predict which new variants may give rise to antibiotic resistance
About Dr. Green: Anna G. Green is an Assistant Professor in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she directs the Sequence Analysis and Genomics (SAGE) lab. She holds a BS in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of Connecticut, and a PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University, where she studied computational methods for protein structure and interaction prediction. She did her postdoctoral research on genomics of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis at the Harvard Medical School Department of Biomedical Informatics.
