Liz successfully defended her dissertation “The Skin Microbiome in Balance and Perturbation”.
Robert Landick’s work focuses on the biochemical processes behind the form and function of DNA and RNA, the molecules that govern all of biology. He has made several landmark discoveries in molecular biology, providing insight into the role of enzyme RNA polymerase and the mechanisms that enable transcription of DNA and generation of proteins.
MDTP trainers are honored with CALS awards! Karthik Anantharaman receives the Pound Research Award and Briana Burton receives the Myron H. & Anna Atwood Faculty Fellow Award. Congrats!
Megan successfully defended her dissertation “Impacts of Xanthomonas Foliar Disease on the Fate and Biology of Salmonella enterica”.
Andrew successfully defended his dissertation, “Interplay of microbial diversity, antimicrobial use, and antimicrobial resistance on Wisconsin dairy farms”.
UW researchers at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center have engineered bacteria that can convert underutilized plant fibers into not one but two useful chemical products at the same time. The discovery could help make biofuels more sustainable and commercially viable.
Daven successfully defended his dissertation “Towards a quantitative understanding of metabolism in industrially relevant microbes”.
Elise successfully defended her dissertation “Unraveling the Role of the Human Gut Microbiome in Three Conditions: Colorectal Cancer, Group B Streptococcus Colonization, and Multiple Sclerosis”.
Mary Hannah successfully defended her dissertation “Metabolite-Mediated Interactions in the Human Skin Microbiome”.
