Specifically, the Kapoor Lab apply these biomolecular tools to study the role of microbial communities in natural and engineered systems. Dr. Kapoor&#8217;s research is guided by the ultimate vision that gaining a better understanding of these communities will allow us to fully harness their power towards achieving several objectives such as wastewater treatment and resource recovery, bioremediation of harmful contaminants, detection and mitigation of waterborne pathogens, and ultimately contribute to improved environmental and public health.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p class=\"font_7\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">General areas of interest:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle\">\r\n<li class=\"font_7\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Biological wastewater and water treatment<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li class=\"font_7\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Resource recovery from wastewater (energy, water, nutrients, chemicals)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Microbial source tracking<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li class=\"font_7\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">\u200bMicrobial ecology of natural and engineered systems<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Stormwater management and water quality improvement<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Environmental and public health<br \/><\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Research initiatives:<\/p>\r\n<p>Wastewater COVID Tracking Dashboard &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ceid.utsa.edu\/vkapoor\/wastewater-covid\/\">click here<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>USDA EcoJEDI Program Website &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.utsa.edu\/student-programs\/ecojedi\/\">click here<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Kapoor&#8217;s research passion lies at the cross-section of environmental microbiology, biotechnology and environmental engineering incorporating a diversity of research tools such as molecular-based identification techniques, bench-scale bioreactors, bioinformatics, and different omics methods including metagenomics and metatranscriptomics.
