Thesis Title: Methyl Bromide Degrading Marine Bacteria
About
I earned my PhD at the University of Warwick and Plymouth Marine Laboratory in the UK whilst working for Prof. J. Colin Murrell, Dr Ian McDonald, and Dr Phil Nightingale on methyl bromide-degrading marine bacteria. I extended my experience of microbial ecology with postdoctoral research at the University of Liverpool, UK, with Prof. Alan McCarthy and Prof. Clive Edwards, on the metagenomics of marine chitin and cellulose-degrading microorganisms.
Joining the Lynch group at UCSF in 2008, I am applying techniques such as metatranscriptomics and 16S rRNA PhyloChip analysis to the study of microbial communities in the cystic fibrosis lung. I'm particularly interested in how bacteria in communities interact with each other and with their environment and also have interests in the use of Web 2.0 technologies in science, blogging on research and other topics at www.palecomic.com
