Research Interests
Key words: Microbial ecology, omics, bioinformatics, harmful algal blooms, graft versus host disease
Overview: I use omics techniques to study Lake Erie cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) and works with collaborators from the medical school to study the effects of graft versus host disease on intestinal microbes following bone marrow transplants. I lead our work on the Great Lakes Atlas of Multi-omics Research (GLAMR) database, which seeks to identify, collect, process, and make available via a website (under development) publicly available Great Lakes omics datasets with their associated metadata.
