Microbiologists have made huge strides forward, using molecular and genomic approaches, in determining \u0026lsquo;how\u0026rsquo; certain behaviors function. Despite this, answers are still lacking to adaptive questions, such as \u0026lsquo;why\u0026rsquo; do such behaviors evolve? How are they maintained in natural populations? What role do they play during infection?\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe are interested in understanding microbial interactions and social behaviors, and the implications for virulence, disease and antimicrobial resistance. The main organism that we focus on is the antibiotic resistant superbug Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The CDC has identified P. aeruginosa as a \u0026#39;serious threat\u0026#39; in healthcare settings. It is also the key pathogen in cystic fibrosis lungs and is commonly isolated from non-healing chronic wounds.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003E@ 9:00 A.M.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nCassie Mitchell, Ph.D. @ 9:00 a.m.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAssistant Professor\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nWallace H.

Akin to data-based models used to forecast weather, Cassie\u0026rsquo;s research integrates disparate, multi-scalar experimental and clinical data sets to dynamically forecast disease. \u0026nbsp;Cassie is the principal investigator of the Laboratory for Pathology Dynamics, which uses a combination of big data, machine learning, biostatistics, and informatics-based techniques to identify complex disease etiology, predict new therapeutics, and optimize current interventions. \u0026nbsp;Cassie\u0026rsquo;s research has predominantly targeted neuropathology, but her research applications in predictive medicine expand across all clinical specialties, including cancer, pediatrics, and cardiovascular medicine.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Steve Diggle, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech, and Cassie Mitchell, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2019-05-30 16:48:08","changed_gmt":"2019-10-15 18:41:34","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-11-12T08:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-11-12T09:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-11-12T09:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-11-12 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-11-12 14:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-11-12 14:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"622104":{"id":"622104","type":"image","title":"Petit Institute Breakfast Club Seminar Series","body":null,"created":"1559242091","gmt_created":"2019-05-30 18:48:11","changed":"1559242091","gmt_changed":"2019-05-30 18:48:11","alt":"","file":{"fid":"236965","name":"breakfast-club-2019.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/breakfast-club-2019.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/breakfast-club-2019.png","mime":"image\/png","size":12931,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/breakfast-club-2019.png?itok=F7WkmiO5"}}},"media_ids":["622104"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/brownlab.biology.gatech.edu\/research\/","title":"Brown Lab Website"},{"url":"http:\/\/pwp.gatech.edu\/cassie-mitchell-lab\/","title":"Mitchell Pathology Dynamics Lab Website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
