Another new grant in the microbiology of the built environment program, by Rob Knight at CU Boulder, in collaboration with Robert Van Pelt:
Title: “Microbially Visible Home”
“The Microbially Visible Home will perform dense spatial and temporal sampling of the ArcheType sustainable house in Toronto, linking microbial data to BIM (Building Information Models) in order to understand the factors that affect the distribution of microbes in the indoor environment. The project will also pilot new visualization methods for understanding microbial distribution patterns.”
