I am a doc­to­ral re­se­ar­cher stu­dy­ing host-mi­cro­be in­ter­ac­tions in a de­fi­ned mi­cro­bi­al com­mu­ni­ty. I stu­dy the sym­bio­tic re­la­ti­ons­hip bet­ween gut­less ma­ri­ne worms and their en­do­sym­bi­onts with a fo­cus on the sul­fa­te re­du­cing del­ta­pro­te­ob­ac­te­ri­al sym­bi­onts. In col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with ima­ging and bio­in­for­ma­tics col­le­agues, I seek to use mass spec­tro­me­try tech­ni­ques to bet­ter un­der­stand the ex­pres­sed me­ta­bo­lism of the­se sym­bi­onts through ana­ly­zing their pro­teo­mes. 

A glim­pse into our stu­dy en­vi­ron­ment:

The image to the left de­picts the shal­low-wa­ter ha­bi­tat of the gut­less ma­ri­ne worms that form sym­bio­tic as­so­cia­ti­ons with mul­ti­ple en­do­sym­bi­onts. We pri­ma­ri­ly stu­dy the­se or­ga­nisms in se­agrass mea­dows in the Me­di­ter­ra­ne­an but we find them all over the world in the­se shal­low-wa­ter eco­sys­tems.

I am a mem­ber of the me­ta­bo­lic in­ter­ac­tions working group whe­re we ap­p­ly a num­ber of mass spec­tro­me­try tech­ni­ques to un­der­stand the in­ter­ac­tions oc­cur­ring wi­t­hin ani­mal-mi­cro­be sym­bio­ses and the che­mi­cal com­po­si­ti­on of the en­vi­ron­ments in which the­se or­ga­nisms are found.
