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 microbial ecology techniques such as 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. I recently received an Elizabeth Nash/Cystic Fibrosis Research Inc. Fellowship to develop metatranscriptomic approaches allowing understanding of functional changes in the cystic fibrosis microbiome.
I blog at www.palecomic.com, frequently about science-related topics.
