    Hosts, Microbes, Molecular Pharming, and More with Professor Jennifer Geddes-McAlister

    On this episode of Translating Proteomics, Parag speaks with Professor Jennifer Geddes-McAlister from the University of Guelph. Professor Geddes-McAlister is an expert at using proteomics to study host-microbe interactions from a systems biology perspective. Her exciting work spans studies of pathogenic fungi all the way to engineering plants to produce pharmaceutics (so-called “molecular pharming"). On top of all that, Professor Geddes-McAlister also founded “Moms in Proteomics” to support and encourage an intentional focus on the inherently unique physical, emotional, and biological commitments of Mothers, and the ensuing balance required to excel within the diverse STEM fields encompassing Mass-Spectrometry-based proteomics. Dive into this episode to: Learn why it’s critical to study hosts, pathogens, and molecular pharming from a systems point of viewDiscover what Professor Geddes-McAlister is excited about for the upcoming Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) conferenceFind out what “Moms in Proteomics” has planned for HUPO Chapters00:00 - Intro 01:39 - Professor Geddes-McAlister's initial interest in host-microbe interactions 06:13 - Why it's important to study host-microbe interactions 08:10 - Pathogens vs helpful microbes 10:06 - Thinking about microbes through the lens of "One Health" 14:34 - Why Professor Geddes-McAlister works primarily in proteomics as opposed to other omes 19:44 - Professor Geddes-McAlister's favorite thing that she's learned from the proteome and couldn't learn from the other omes 24:56 - Molecular pharming 29:35 - The need for accessibility in proteomics 34:09 - The need for all-in-one workflows in proteomics 36:08 - HUPO 2025 39:56 - Moms in Proteomics 42:36 - The future of proteomics 43:59 - Outro ResourcesGeddes et al., 2015.
