Research and Ongoing Projects:
- Understanding how larval mosquito habitat influences microbiome assemblage
- Analyzing differences in sylvatic and urban systems in terms of mosquito microbiomes and pathogen transmission
- Determining interactions between temperature and Wolbachia spp.
- Characterizing the gray seal microbiome in relation to microplastics
- Developing our understanding of the potential role of microbes in spotted lanternfly control, including across life stages
- Building our understanding of environment-microbe interactions
