|  For over thirty years, a mysterious infectious disease has been killing parrots and other exotic birds. The disease, called Proventricular Dilatation Disease, or PDD, has plagued bird owners, aviaries, zoos, and endangered bird recovery efforts. Using the ViroChip, the DeRisi and Ganem labs, in collaboration with veterinarians Susan Clubb in the US, and Ady Gancz in Israel, have identified a novel avian bornavirus strongly associated with PDD. Read the Frequently Asked Questions about PDD and this new virus. Or, read the full press release here. |
 The Center for Advanced Technology is a collection of instrumentation dedicated to serving the research needs of the UCSF andQB3 communities. Our primary focus is on instrumentation for high-throughput experimental biology, but we are also interested in any instrumentation too large or complex to be maintained by a single laboratory.
