Pleased to announce a new preprint live today to bioRXiv titled “Bacteria induce an amoeboid phase in coccolithophores that persists after bloom collapse”. This work was led by Sophie Zweifel, a PhD student in the Stocker Lab, and delves into a previously uncharacterised life-stage in bloom-forming coccolithophores. Coccolithophores, such as Geophryocapsa huxleyi (formally Emiliania huxleyi),…

When algae get sick: new paper out today in Nature Microbiology!
Delighted to announce my latest publication hit the presses today in Nature Microbiology! This is the publication of my primary work from my time at Tufts University with Jeffrey Guasto in collaboration with the labs of Sheri Floge at Wake Forest University (North Carolina) and Trent Northen at Berkeley Lab (California). A perspective/commentary piece is…
Making the Cover: new protocols paper out today!
The latest in a series of works focussing on bacterial-chemotaxis interactions, delighted to annouce today the publication of our latest paper in bio-protocol, which has also made the cover of the latest issue! This follow-up work from our eLife paper published last year fully documents the extensive fabrication, implementation, and testing of the Multiplexed Chemotaxis…
MicrobeRaman: a new repository for Raman spectroscopy data
Excited to annouce the publication of a correspondance in Nature Microbiology spear-headed by Dr Kang Soo Lee within the StockerLab at ETH Zurich. Raman microscopy is an advanced spectroscopic method which allows us to use the scattering of light to measure a “chemical fingerprint” of a sample, and has become an established tool for the…
Preprint: How viral infection alters microbial behaviour in the oceans
Excited to share the next installment from my time at Tufts University – our study of how viral infection alters bacterial foraging in the oceans, now live on Biorxiv! In this work, we investigated how viral infection of the cyanobacteria Synechococcus – one of the most abundant marine microorganisms and contributes to ~25% of our…
