Current research:

Our program combines clinical investigation, translational research, and advanced data science to address fundamental questions regarding Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) pathogenesis, treatment response, disease progression, and postoperative recurrence. By integrating large-scale clinical cohorts with cutting-edge molecular and imaging technologies, we aim to develop a more precise and mechanistic understanding of IBD and to accelerate the implementation of personalized medicine strategies.

Translational Biomarkers of Aging and Dementia

Current research:

Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory (TNL) develops biomarkers and analytical frameworks for modeling neurodegenerative processes including deposition of protein aggregates, metabolic abnormalities, cell transport systems and neuroreceptors dysfunction.

The laboratory encompasses a cohesive multidisciplinary team conducting integrative and multimodal neuroimaging research in human disease as well as disease models. TNL collaborates with an extensive network of laboratories and is committed to scientific training in the field of biomarkers.

Current research:

Dr. Harrison’s research program investigates the evolution and pathobiology of mycobacteria, integrating comparative genomics and metagenomics to study Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections. His current projects focus on elucidating the genomic dynamics of non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections through direct metagenomic sequencing and on developing computational tools for comparative genomic analysis within the M. tuberculosis complex. His overarching goal is to link microbial evolution with clinical outcomes to improve the diagnosis and understanding of mycobacterial disease.

Projects:

1. Development and validation of a gene-level, reference-based pangenomic pipeline for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
2. In silico benchmarking of species-level metagenomic classification algorithms for the detection of Mycobacterium spp. in long-read sequencing datasets
3. Evaluation of host depletion strategies on the yield of Mycobacterium spp. sequencing reads for Oxford Nanopore metagenomic sequencing of human sputum samples.
