Draft:Richard Allen White III

Richard Allen White III is a American Computational and Synthetic Virologist is a Assistant Professor of the Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His research and lab (e.g., RAW lab) focuses on the virosphere relating to metabolism, host-viral interactions, bacterial-viral interactions, and viral-viral interactions in relation to viral lifestyle and its impact on global biogeochemical cycling. He uses computational viroinfomatics metaomics and synthetic biology to unlock the potential of the virosphere including phage therapy, novel viral therapeutics and new materials (e.g., virocement).
