Subject: Still time to register for the Fungal-Like Disease Detection in Aquaculture Operations webinar on May 19! [logo] Freshwater Science Fungal-Like Disease Detection in Aquaculture Operations ? MAY 19, 2022 ? 12 p.m. - 12:30 p.m. ET ? Aquaculture is a growing industry in Ohio and the Great Lakes region, providing farm-raised seafood ranging from crawfish to walleye. And just like land-based farms, fish farmers spend a lot of time making sure their animals are healthy. Dr. Vipa Phuntumart and her team at Bowling Green State University have developed a method to detect Saprolegnia, a fungal-like pathogen that can result in an estimated loss of $40 million to U.S. aquaculture operations every year, in water samples from fish farms. This way, the fish can be treated with eco-friendly options before they show symptoms. The webinar is free, but registration is required to receive log-in information. LEARN MORE & REGISTER [icon] [A blue image reading Freshwater Science, with a play button for a video] About the Speaker Dr. Vipa Phuntumart is a pathologist with strong interest and expertise in molecular techniques and bioinformatics analysis. She has a broad background in molecular biology of host-pathogen interactions. Her main research interests revolve around the molecular basis of host-microbe interactions. She is interested in both host-pathogen and host-beneficial microbe interactions. Her work has important implications for future agriculture, agri-business and food security. Her current projects include research on the interactions between pathogenic oomycetes, and their hosts (plant and aquatic animals such as fish and crayfish). Current techniques used in her lab are bioinformatic analysis, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), quantitative PCR, epigenetic gene regulation and functional genomics. An important goal of the laboratory is to educate and prepare future scientists in the latest molecular and genomic techniques. Register Today Follow us on social media.
