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…
Pedal for the Medal
A change from the science – this week I travel to Pontevedra (Spain) to compete in the World Triathlon Championships! It’s been a long road of strange coincidence that has led to this – long story short, I qualified at the end of 2022 to compete on Team USA following my three years racing in…
A new technology for rapidly screening bacterial chemotaxis
The paper mill keeps churning, excited to announce the second publication from my time at Tufts University with Prof. Jeffrey Guasto in eLife! This was work led by Michael Stehnach, a PhD student at the time at Tufts University, and now a postdoc at Brandeis University. Many microbes are capable of exploring their environment by…
