Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sangam Kandel's research focuses on understanding the complex interplay between microbial communities, host physiology, and disease, particularly in the context of viral infections and chemotherapy treatments. His work has investigated the impact of gut microbiota on physiological and cognitive changes following chemotherapy, exploring potential links to depressive-like behaviors. Kandel has also been involved in genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, employing long-range PCR primers for enhanced detection and analysis.

His research extends to viral evolutionary dynamics, utilizing animal models to study persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections and their pathological consequences. Furthermore, Kandel has contributed to the phylogenetic analysis of influenza viruses, examining their origins and spread in animal populations. He is affiliated with the Influenza Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin Madison and has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including David W. Ussery, Joshua L. Kennedy, Ashton Ingold, and Antiño R. Allen.
