The Aerosol and Particulate Research Laboratory (APRL) is at the forefront of research exploring how viruses and genetic materials travel through the air and impact human health and the environment. Our bioaerosol transmission studies focus on understanding and improving how we detect, collect, and analyze airborne biological agents.
One major area of focus is the development of advanced air sampling technologies, such as the jBioCascade impactor, which can collect size-fractionated airborne viruses while maintaining sample viability in various humidity conditions. This innovation is crucial for improving air monitoring in healthcare, workplace, and community environments.
