Graduate
Dr. Scott is interested to supervise research projects
of an applied nature, such as those relating to medically important fungi, environmental fungi, and the measurement and
evaluation of indoor microbial contaminants. Graduate programs are available at the masters or doctoral level administered through
the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. Dr. Scott is eligible to
supervise students enrolled in graduate programs in the Division of Occupational & Environmental Health who are interested
in conducting laboratory-based independent projects or research practica.
Some of the projects currently available at the graduate-level include:
- Exposure assessment methods for indoor biological contaminants
- Biology of members of the biomedically important fungal order Onygenales
- Biology of whiskey fungi
- Development and validation of a solid-state mould biosensor for building envelope research
(this project is in conjunction with Dr. Eric Savory and Dr. Jayshri Sabarinathan at the University of Western Ontario)
- A survey of Blastomyces dermatitidis in central and northern Ontario soils by qPCR
- Testing the effectiveness of aerosol-arresting filter devices in hospital isolation room application using molecular detection
- Microbiology and community ecology of the mammalian intestinal tract
- Development of inexpensive integrative air sampling tools for exposure assessment in population health studies
- Characterization of microbial contaminants in machining coolants by molecular genetic methods
Information for those interested in graduate studies in relation to these or other topic areas should consult the
overview of graduate student programs overview in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
