Research
|
I would classify myself as a
marine microbial ecologist.
My studies to date have
focused on assaying the
structure of microbial and
viral communities over time
and understanding how these
communities interact over
time. I accomplish this by
using ARISA, TRFLP, DGGE and
16s sequencing to
characterize the bacterial
community and PFGE to
analyze the viral community.
Much of my research over the
past three years has been
conducted at the Wrigley
Institute of Marine Science
on
Catalina Island
and at the USC microbial
observatory time series
station located in the
San Pedro Channel
half way between
Los Angeles
and
Catalina Island
. Recently I have begun to
examine the ecophysiological
role of a newly (re)discovered
group of bacteriochlorophyll
a containing
photoheterotrophs as well as
the host range dynamics of
marine bacteriophage and
cyanophage. Currently I am
completing my fourth year of
PhD studies in the Marine
Environmental Biology
program at the
University
of
Southern California
.
