Microbes are recently recognized as driving the energy and nutrient transformations that fuel Earth’s ecosystems in soils, oceans and humans. Where studied, viruses appear to modulate...
DATE: June 02, 2021 TIME: 7:00am PDT In this talk we will present how we have optimized single-cell technologies to sort single viral particles by advanced flow cytometry and whole genome am...
Authors: Mark C. Benfield, Elizabeth Marchio, Aimee Thomas, Kyrsten Boswell, and Nicole Nguyen. In August 2020 the MV Bianca lost a shipping container filled with an estimated 750 million ra...
Anthropogenic microparticles, including microplastics, are commonly found in nearshore environments, where they may be entrained in coastal waters, sequestered in sediments, or ingested by a...
I will first discuss findings from the larger field on microplastics effects across taxa in freshwater and marine ecosystems, and then cover ongoing work in our research group comparing resp...
In Pacific Northwest watersheds several species of Pacific salmonid fishes are hosts for the rhabdovirus infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). In this multi-host ecosystem speciali...
Lessons around leveraging high-complexity next-generation sequencing tests for precision infectious disease discovery to guide patient treatment and improve health outcomes. Learning Objecti...
My group is addressing fundamental questions in evolutionary biology, using both genome- and phenotype-first approaches. A few years ago, we discovered that Arabidopsis thaliana is a great m...
Traditionally, virology has been focused in studying the pathogenic effect of viruses. In the recent years, however, this perception is changing and viruses are being studied as mutualistic...
Primary metabolism supports essential chemical processes of living organisms, and is highly conserved among all life forms. In contrast, specialized metabolism contributes to the fitness of...

This presentation will be demonstrating several different approaches to explore the diversity, function, and ecology of microbial communities. In Metagenomics, the sequencing of DNA dir...
Virus Ecology is a field that is gaining momentum, fueled in part by metagenomic studies from many environments previously ignored. Biodiversity studies of plant viruses show that they...
The global trend towards industrialization and urbanization has led to ever more people living and working indoors. Some studies estimate that humans in industrialized countries spend as much...
It is well accepted that microorganisms can exist as self-organized communities attached to surfaces and one another (i.e., biofilm), often surrounded by extracellular polymeric substances (E...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
