Efrem Lim is an expert in viruses, biomedicine, microbiology and molecular biology. He is a virologist and an assistant professor in the School of Life Sciences, and the Biodesign Center for Fundamental and Applied Microbiomics. Lim's research focuses on viromes, microbiomes and the SARS-CoV-2 viral strain. Professor Lim created the "Lim Lab" at ASU which integrates molecular virology and bioinformatics approaches in clinical cohorts.
My lab studies new viruses, so when people are sick with unknown etiology, we take clinical samples to sequence and identify new pathogens. We also study the microbiome, a very diverse collection of microbes in our body.
