Profile

Bio

Research in my lab is driven by an interest in understanding how photosynthetic microorganismsperceive and evolve in response to environmental stressors, such as light, nutrients and viral attack.

We focus on cyanobacteria which are abundant, globally relevant and have been used to probe environmentally important processes ranging from photosynthesis to symbioses to circadian rhythms.

We work both with model organisms and with cyanobacteria in naturally occurring communities. Recently,we have started to develop synthetic biology-inspired approaches to use in cyanobacteria.

2014

Party With Trees

Stanford University

Winter 2014: BIO 29N

Ever marveled at the imposing trees around campus? This  course will explore trees on campus using Bracewell's  marvelous “Trees of Stanford” as a rough guide. We will develop  tools and explore ideas that will allow the wider community to  cherish and appreciate the oft-neglected trees on campus. The  course will include guest lectures that focus on the theme of  trees: from literature to the physics and biology of trees, to the  environmental impact of global forest loss.

FACEBUG

FACEBUG: The social life of microbes

Stanford University

Autumn 2010: BIO 23N

We will explore three crucial aspects of microbial life. First, examine how the unseen microbial majority is responsible for critical but under-appreciated aspects of the biology of the planet. Second, investigate the array of current genomic and imaging tools available to probe microscopic organisms in the environment.  Last, we will research the importance of microbial communities and social dynamics in ecological and human health settings.

Microbes, Mysteries and Metagenomics

Microbes, Mysteries, and Metagenomics

Stanford University

Autumn 2008: BIO 23N

Microbes, the unseen majority in the world, but only in the last decades have methods been developed to investigate their diversity. How are these new technologies shaping appreciation of microbial diversity? Discoveries in genomics and metagenomics, and the interfaces among bioinformatics, evolutionary biology, and synthetic biology. Emphasis is on microbes in the environment and current ability to dissect the interactions of complex microbial communities.
