In other studies, the Bennett lab has demonstrated that VOCs from living cultures of Trichoderma, a known biocontrol fungus, can enhance plant growth. Investigations on the mechanistic aspects of fungal VOC action are under way using a yeast knockout library.

Dr. Allen is currently working with the Lawrence Livermore Microbial Detection Array, which is capable of comparing the DNA of microorganisms in a specific location or environment with a vast library of stored viral, bacterial, and fungal genetic sequences. Jean Cox-Ganser, Ph.D., is research team leader for the Field Studies Branch, Respiratory Health Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

His research interests lie at the cusp of molecular biology and civil engineering, focusing on the characterization and control of biological air pollution, both natural and anthropogenic. His recent work has focused on engineering disinfection systems for airborne bacteria and viruses and on tracking bioaerosols through natural weather patterns and catastrophic events (such as Hurricane Katrina)

For almost 40 years he has been involved in research and consulting that have included the integration of knowledge about indoor and outdoor air pollution, as well as other risk factors into the design of residential, educational, and commercial buildings and communities. His work includes many efforts to design buildings with minimal negative impacts on occupants or the larger environment, including the design of ventilation, building materials selection, energy consumption, and total environmental quality.

Dr. Nelson has exten m sive experience in microbial ecology, microbial genomics, microbial physiology, and metagenomics. Since joining the JCVI legacy institutes, she has led several genomic and metagenomic efforts; was involved in the analysis of the microbiota of the human stomach and gastrointestinal tract; and led the first human metagenomics study on fecal material derived from three individuals, which was published in 2006.

His work has included the development and application of measurement techniques for evaluating airflows and indoor air contaminant levels in a variety of building types, including large mechanically ventilated buildings and single- family dwellings. These procedures include tracer gas techniques for measuring air change rates and air distribution effectiveness, measurements of contaminant concentrations, and envelope airtightness.
