THE EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY OF HOST-MICROBIOME SYMBIOSIS IN ONTHOPHAGUS DUNG BEETLES
The effect of host-microbe interactions on diverse aspects of host biology are increasingly appreciated across biological disciplines, yet the roles played by these interactions in shaping host evolution remain poorly understood. My dissertation research seeks to address these and related issues …

Characterizing the Microbiome of Scottish Freshwater Pearl Mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera): A Metabarcoding Analysis using Next-Generation Sequencing
… research gaps, particularly the understudied microbiome, may be crucial for effective conservation. With their filter-feeding lifestyle exposing them to diverse microbial communities, these mussels serve as an excellent model for investigating host-microbiome interactions. This study provides …

Evaluating efficacy of anti-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis probiotic treatment on Pacific Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris regilla) at current and modeled climate change temperatures
… change and other stressors can have complicated interactions with amphibian disease. Some amphibian populations are less susceptible to chytridiomycosis due to factors such as symbiotic skin microbes that may inhibit Bd through secondary metabolites. There have been several attempts to develop …

Machine learning and data analytics for liver disease modeling
… through integration of high-resolution gut microbiome and mycobiome data. We performed one of the most comprehensive shotgun metagenomic and mycobiomic analyses in PSC to date and identified profound dysbiosis and a functional deficiency in microbial bile acid deconjugation. By incorporating …

Machine Learning Methods for Discovering Metabolite Structures from Mass Spectra
… biological and environmental phenomena across host-microbiome interactions, plant chemistry, cancer biology, and various other processes. Mass spectrometry is often used as an analytical technique to investigate the small molecules present in a sample, measuring both their masses and …

Environmental and Biotic Drivers of Seaweed–Bacterial Interactions: Insights into the Seaweed Holobiont
Seaweeds are host to a wide variety of microbes with which they form chemically mediated relationships, operating as a unified holobiont - an integrated functional unit. Host fitness is reliant on this symbiosis, with interactions from epiphytic bacteria necessary for the correct physiological …

GENOMIC AND MICROBIOME ANALYSIS TO IMPROVE FILLET YIELD AND QUALITY TRAITS IN RAINBOW TROUT
… to as “missing heritability.” Recently, the gut microbiome has emerged as a potential contributor to phenotypic variation through host–microbiome interactions. Some microbiome features may be heritable, which could help account for portions of the missing heritability. In this study, we …

A 3D in vitro model of the human gut-microbiome. A bioelectronics approach.
… underlying the intricate cross-talk between the host and the intestinal flora remain a mystery. Until recently, the majority of studies that seek to explore these mechanisms relied almost exclusively on animal models, and particularly gnotobiotic mice. Despite the great progress made with these …

Exploring early-life microbiome transfer and therapeutic applications in bovines and humans
The microbiome consists of intricate microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, eukarya, viruses, bacteriophages, and their associated products. These dynamic entities establish symbiotic relationships with their bovine and human hosts, exerting direct or indirect influences on physiology …

The impact of dietary components on gut microbiome modulation and health
The human gut microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining overall health, influencing key physiological processes such as digestion, immune function, and behaviour. A deeper understanding of the complex interactions between the gut microbiome, diet, and disease is essential for advancing …
