Genomic Surveillance and Characterization of Microbial Threats Facilitates Early Detection and Containment of Disease Outbreaks in West Africa.
Dr. Christian Happy, has the expertise and skills, leadership and motivation necessary to successfully conduct and oversee health research projects in West Africa. He has a broad background in molecular biology and genomics with application in infectious diseases, including malaria, Lassa fever, Ebola virus disease and HIV. Of his career accomplishments to date, the most meaningful was my use of genomics technologies for early diagnosis and confirmation (within 6 hours) of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Nigeria. This singular action was major in containing EVD in Nigeria, and therefore saving millions of lives in Africa. Thi...

Matrix Viscoelasticity and Cancer
Changes in matrix stiffness is increasingly appreciated as a key variable in cancer research, but most current work ignores that tissues are viscoelastic, with time-dependent mechanical behavior. Using biomaterials that allow independent control over key variables, we find that the rate of matrix stress relaxation has dramatic effects on stem cell fate, and impacts multiple cell types in the tumor microenvironment, including cancer cells, monocytes, and T cells. Inspired by the importance of viscoelasticity to extracellular matrix, new medical adhesives are being synthesized from energy dissipative hydrogel networks.For mo...
