NCSU Biochemist to Speak
Dr. John Cavanagh, of the Department of Molecular & Structural Biochemistry
and a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor will be presenting at the SST
AFT Conference.
Cavanagh is a co-investigator on a project taking a systems biology approach to
stopping Vibrio infections - a bacterial infection that is the leading cause of
seafood gastroenteritis in the United States. "The project's strengths come from
integrating high-throughput comparative genomics methods, state-of-the-art structural
biology, computational studies, and drug design strategies," says Cavanagh.* The
group has discovered a class of chemical compounds that inhibit biofilm formation
- which add to the virulence and persistence of the Vibrio bacteria. There is a
patent pending on the compound and its uses.
Other speakers include:
Grimur Valdimarsson, FAO, Rome, Italy
Wade Watanabe, UNC Wilmington, North Carolina
Torger Børresen, DTU-Aqua, Denmark
Marc Surette, Université de Moncton, New Brunswick
Steven Otwell, University of Florida
Dan Baden, UNC Wilmington, North Carolina
Steven Burke, Biofuels Center of North Carolina
T.C. Chadderton, New Zealand Crop and Food Research Institute
Jeffrey Wright, UNC Wilmington, North Carolina
Bjorn Skjaeveted, formerly with AKVAFORSK, Norway
