Welcome to QC Research Highlights!<\/strong>  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

QC Research Highlights is a monthly blog series featuring work from ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ (QC) authors in CUNY Academic Works. Fascinating, important research is happening here at QC and we want you to know about it! Sometimes (but not always) this series may feature several works on related topics; other times it will simply feature a few works of interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the works featured in this series are available to read and download for free from CUNY Academic Works<\/a>.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ and the Pandemic <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the midst of the long public health emergency of COVID-19, scientists and scholars from all disciplines have done important research to help us better understand both the virus itself and the social effects of the pandemic. CUNY faculty have been very active in these efforts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUNY Academic Works<\/a>, CUNY\u2019s institutional repository, has a collection highlighting COVID-19 research by CUNY Authors<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important research has been carried out across CUNY, but for the purposes of this blog post, I would like to point out some research by ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ (QC) authors in particular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicine and Public Health <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

John Dennehy (Biology)<\/strong>, led a team of researchers<\/a> developing a protocol to detect COVID-19 in wastewater, which was adopted by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to monitor the prevalence of COVID in New York City. Aside from John Dennehy, authors credited in these articles included QC graduate and undergraduate students Kristin Cheung, Anna Gao, Sherin Kanoly, Michelle Markman, and Kaung Myat Sun, as well as other researchers from across CUNY. This research was also featured in QC\u2019s Big Ideas<\/a> series, and the library has created a guide to further resources<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
