Future Tech: Almost Here, Round-the-corner Future Technology Podcast

This podcast describes a cutting-edge application of analytical chemistry. When you listen, you will learn: * How Dr. McCall's lab uses liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry together to identify and locate pathogen microbes in bodily organs. * How identifying their location leads to creating compounds that help the body fight their effects. * Why this new pathogen management is centered on metabolomics testing rather than killing the microbes. Laura-Isobel McCall, Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma, specializes in chemical cartography of host-microbe interactions. She runs the McCall Lab, where they practice the application of analytical chemistry to map disease-causing microbes in mammalian organ systems. The McCall Lab explores the interaction between pathogens, the microbiome, and the host to develop drugs that are capable of metabolism modulation. Through metabolomics testing and chemical cartography, Dr. McCall's lab is working on compounds to counter the effects of pathogen
