  • George Mason scientists secure $1.4M DTRA grant to study viruses’ impact on organ health

    Oct 14, 2024 | gmu.edu | Laura Powers

    Researchers in the College of Science at George Mason University recently secured a $1.4M grant from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to investigate how an infection spreads between organs, and how a therapeutic will impact connected organs. The work will initially focus on mosquito- transmitted viruses while scientists also hope to expand the implications from these studies to other human disease states.

  • Student's research on COVID-19 transmission leads to discovery of a major model gap

    Aug 12, 2024 | medicalxpress.com | Laura Powers |George Mason

    Scientists have long studied the spread of diseases, but the emergence of COVID-19 and its profound impact on society have underscored the critical need to understand where and how diseases spread. As George Mason University doctoral student Jericho McLeod reviewed literature on disease transmission as part of his work toward a Ph.D. in computational science and informatics, he and George Mason professor Eduardo López noticed a gap in the models and now seek to correct it.
