Profile bio
About Laura Markey
I am a passionate interdisciplinary researcher who has developed expertise using in vivo model systems and molecular microbiology techniques to interrogate host-microbiome interactions. I use a systems biology approach to study the intersection of the host neuroendocrine and immune systems with the microbiome with a particular focus on the impact of manipulation on basal immune tone of barrier tissues. I have honed my molecular biology and immunology toolkit to do so and have experience with generating and analyzing multi-omics datasets including RNAseq and metagenomic microbiome data.Select first (or co-first) author publications are featured below; full publication list at https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=8cFsR7gAAAAJ&hl=en

A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.
Postdoctoral Associate
Current- Developed and used a mouse model to characterize the role of the skin and gut microbiome in regulating host basal immune tone and skin healing in response to acute mechanical damage
- Optimized protocols to process flank skin and generate single cell suspensions for flow cytometry analysis and primary cell isolation and culture
- Generated a “best practices” protocol for isolation of microbial DNA from low biomass (skin swab) samples and computational contaminant identification for accurate microbiome analysis using shotgun metagenomic and 16s.
Oct 2020 - Present
Graduate Researcher And Postdoctoral Researcher
- Discovered novel gut microbiome-brain interactions between the fungus Candida albicans and the host by performing neuroscience behavioral and acute stress protocols in a BSL2 animal facility
- Defined immune priming within the gastrointestinal tract using multiplex ELISAs and qPCR in response to C. albicans colonization which protected the host from Clostridioides difficile pathogen challenge
- Characterized the impact of C. albicans colonization on the gut microbiome and its ability to recover from antibiotic perturbation using metagenomic sequencing
- Generated fluorescent reporter strains of C. albicans using classic molecular cloning
May 2014 - Oct 2020
Emerging Infectious Diseases Fellow
The Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory Training Fellowship is funded by APHL and the Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC). I conducted Salmonella enterica surveillance project in the food microbiology lab investigating the prevalence and identity of S. enterica in eggs from different commercial sources in MA Health.
Sep 2012 - Jul 2013
Research Assistant
Generated transposon mutant library in Vibrio fischeri and discovered a novel regulator of symbiosis phenotypes such as luminescence, biofilm formation and the ability to colonize their native host, the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes)
