Pathogens (such as coronavirus, norovirus, Leigonella pneumophila, nontuberculous mycobacteria, etc.) in engineered water systems and built environment frequently cause disease outbreaks and raise human health concerns. SHEN lab aims to tackle the challenges at the nexus of water, air, and public health. We will understand pathogen abundance, persistence, transmission, and control across water and air for public health protection and safe water supply.
