Canadian water sources for drinking and agriculture are threatened by waterborne bacterial *pathogens including Escherichia coli O157:H7, Campylobacter jejuni, and Salmonella species. *It is important to understand the molecular mechanisms by which waterborne bacteria survive *and persist in the diverse environmental conditions. Dr. Tao Dong's research employs cutting-*edge systems biology approaches to investigate inter-species interaction and key gene *functions required for niche-specific adaptation. In addition, Dr. Dong will develop biological tools *to control the prevalence and transmission of waterborne pathogens in the environment.

加拿大的饮用水和农业水源受到水生细菌 * 病原体的威胁，包括大肠杆菌O157：H7、空肠弯曲杆菌和沙门氏菌。* 重要的是要了解水生细菌生存的分子机制 *，并坚持在不同的环境条件。陶东博士的研究采用了最前沿的系统生物学方法来研究物种间的相互作用和生态位特异性适应所需的关键基因功能。此外，董博士还将开发生物工具 *，以控制环境中水媒病原体的流行和传播。
