Day 2 of Paulinella field sampling in North Carolina. So far we’ve found 22 cells and are hoping to isolate some of them, although this is proving very difficult. Debashish Bhattacharya Erin Chille Timothy Stephens Susanne Ruemmele
Day 3 of Paulinella field sampling and we’re up to 43 cells found, 6 environmental samples preserved for genomics, and 11 individual cells isolated to varying degrees. We’re on a roll and still have a full day ahead of us! Debashish Bhattacharya Timothy Stephens Erin Chille Susanne Ruemmele
I’m at Duke University for the #npNextGen conference! Lots of great talks and posters so far!
Turning up at the Durham Bulls game at the New Phytologist #npnextgen conference. Love making conference friends!
This paper was a lot of hard work, but worth it. We start to learn how Paulinella meets its CO2 needs in the chromatophore (…icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…). Congratulations Arwa G, Timothy Stephens John Reinfelder Victoria Calatrava and Arthur G. Rutgers SEBS Rutgers NJAES Carnegie Science
Our heartfelt thanks to collaborators at the Marine Innovation Hub and Fundemar (FUNDEMAR) in the Dominican Republic for organizing our recent research visit and building an exciting coral reef conservation program together. We had a great time! Rutgers SEBS Rutgers University–New Brunswick
We have an opening in my lab for a postdoc with expertise in algal/seaweed biotechnology, in particular, metabolic engineering and carbohydrate biochemistry, with some bioinformatics training. Email me at [email protected], if this fits your background and aspirations
Our work led by Katherine Dougan, PhD shows how genome duplication enhanced the efficiency of a #coral #algal #symbiont FINALLY out Science Advances! Fantastic collabs @ace_uq UQ Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences UTS C3 FIU Australian Institute of Marine Science BioSciences UniMelb Rutgers SEBS after years of hard work! doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…
An amazing experience presenting the awesome work we do at Debashish Bhattacharya lab in collaboration with AIMS, at BMC 2024. ##BenMicrobesMtg Timothy Stephens Erin Chille Samantha Goyen
Happy to have contributed to this excellent paper by @KEdougan in the group of Cheong Xin (CX) Chan that provides a model of how whole-genome duplication shaped evolution of the heat-tolerant coral algal symbiont, Durusdinium (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Algae rock! Great work everyone.
Congratulations to Erin Chille for her paper on why genotype matters when studying coral stress responses (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…). You can hear the live version at Evolution Meetings. Congrats also to co-authors Timothy Stephens Deeksha Misri @EmmaStrand4 and @HolliePutnam
Great talks at the #Evol2024 meeting so far from the Debashish Bhattacharya lab (Timothy Stephens and Gabby Panayotakis) and then from my college bff Kyle T. David 🍄 in the RokasLab giving a fantastic talk and accepting the @ASNAmNat Early Career award! It was a revelation. Congrats everyone!
Today Erin Chille and I presented at #Evol2024. Her talk was, “Gene expression response to physiological stress in two Hawaiian corals is dominated by ploidy and genotype” and mine was “Alignment-free phylogenetics to increase the value of environmental genomic data” Evolution Meetings
What a great time in Montreal at #Evol2024 with friends old and new! Thanks Evolution Meetings and especially Society of Systematic Biologists for being so welcoming and putting together such a fun and interesting conference!
Who doesn't love a beach retreat? dblab folks Julia Van Etten Timothy Stephens Erin Chille Shrinivas Nandi Gabby Panayotakis Kasey Walsh take a break after discussing future projects. Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!
