I use a genetic approach to investigate cell envelope biogenisis of Gram-negative bacteria. Specifically, I focus on understanding how lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is moved from the cytoplasm to the outer membrane by the lipopolysaccharide transport (Lpt) machinery.PI: Natacha Ruiz

This senior level course teaches students current molecular biology techniques and gives them hands on experience generating and analyzing sequencing data. • Help students both technically and conceptually excel in the course and push them to be independent thinkers•Lead lectures and grade assignments

•Lead lectures, graded, and guided students through their experiments

Working in the lab of Dr. Louis Tisa I studied the plant-microbe symbiosis between actinobacteria and actinorhizal plants that can be used for bioremediation of soil. •Performed coinfection studies with novel strains of actinobacteria and demonstrated their ability to promote root nodule formation and increase plant growth of the actinorhizal plant Casuarina glauca•Wrote a grant proposal and received the UNH Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship •Presented my work at The University of New Hampshire’s Undergraduate Research Conference and at the Boston Bacterial Meeting held at Harvard University

Durham, Nh

This upper level microbiology course used both genomic and classical clinical identification approaches to investigate the microbiome. Students generated and analyzed primary data on their skin microbome.•Worked alongside the professor the first semester this course was offered to test run experiments and develop course content •Wrote a bioinformatic analysis pipeline for students to use to easily interpret their data•Gave a mini-lecture on principal component analysis•Involved in lab set up, organization and submission of sequencing samples

This course uses a combination of morphological, cultural, biochemical techniques to identify and investigate the attributes of common pathogenic microbes.•Assisted in laboratory set up, running the labs, and grading weekly quizzes.
