Dr. Adam Lauring is an Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine/Division of Infectious Diseases and the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Michigan Medical School. He received his undergraduate degree from the Yale University and his MD and PhD from the University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. Lauring pursued his post-graduate clinical and research training at the University of California, San Francisco, where he completed a medical residency, an Infectious Diseases fellowship, and a postdoctoral fellowship in virology. He also served for one year as Chief Medical Resident in the Department of Medicine. Dr. Lauring has a long-standing interest in the population genetics and evolution of RNA viruses. He has studied the importance of mutation rate and mutational tolerance to the evolution of poliovirus and influenza virus. His more recent work utilizes next generation sequencing of patient samples to define the within-host evolution and transmission of influenza virus, poliovirus, and SARS-CoV-2. Over the last year, his laboratory has helped to define the genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Michigan. Dr. Lauring is a Fellow of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and a member of the governing council of the American Society for Virology. His research is funded by grants from the NIH, CDC, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
