Research

My research involves the oyster microbiome. I am using 16S sequencing to investigate the role of the microbial community in juvenile oyster health. Additionally, I am using transcriptomics to understand the relationship between probiotic bacteria that improve oyster health, as well as pathogenic bacteria that can kill oysters. Overall, my work will help advance aquaculture practices.
