QIAGEN Announces Partnership with Penn State University to Advance Microbiome Science

Among the various projects of this partnership, the team will participate in the global science education program “Discover the microbes inside!The Wolbachia Project”. This program allows middle and high school students, as well as high school students, to learn about arthropods (animals without backbones with an external chitin skeleton, segmented structure, and jointed legs, as well as insects, spiders, mites, and crustaceans) and to gather clinical knowledge about the bacterial endosymbiont (one organism that lives inside another to gain the advantages of both) Wolbachia pipientis.

It is estimated that this bacterium is found in approximately 50% of the world’s arthropods and has been shown, for example, to block the replication of potentially deadly RNA viruses, such as dengue virus, West Nile virus and Zika virus[1]. , is used to decrease the transmission of these and other viruses that are spread through the bite of inflamed arthropods (arboviruses) [2]. Because of those real-world impacts, Wolbachia is used as a style organism to examine the interactions between animals and microbes, genetics. , evolution, ecology and human health.

Microbiome studies aim to explore the relationships between microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and their hosts. This may help to better understand the effect of the microbiome on health, disease, and ecological processes to expand new diagnostic responses. and healing strategies.

The primary task of Penn State’s Huck Institutes of Life Sciences One Health Microbiome Center (OHMC) will be for QIAGEN to provide tools and kits to prepare and process microbial samples.

QIAGEN’s comprehensive microbiome portfolio includes equipment for each and every facet of the clinical workflow, adding reliable pattern preparation kits optimized to read challenging environmental and human microbiome patterns. To ensure reproducibility, QIAGEN offers automated pattern preparation for standardization and reliability. The broad diversity of answers for the microbiome also includes downstream processing technologies such as NGS, virtual PCR (dPCR), or quantitative PCR (qPCR), all complemented by physically powerful bioinformatics equipment for seamless virtual analysis.
