Patrick Lloyd

I completed my B.Sc. with a major in microbiology and I am currently a first year Master’s Student in the Animal Science program at the University of Manitoba. I am conducting my research at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency within the National Center for Foreign Animal Diseases. My project focuses on the H7N3 avian influenza virus outbreak that occurred in the Fraser Valley in British Columbia, Canada in 2004. Whole genome sequencing of archived clinical samples is utilized to establish a more complete evolutionary and geographic analysis of the HPAI avian influenza virus outbreak. I like long walks on the beach, oh yeah, and spending time with my family.
