Super proud for all of our student presentations at the student research symposium!
Super proud for all of our student presentations at the student research symposium! Congratulations to Ila for winning the President’s Award for Best Biology Presentation!!!
We’re at it again. Looking for wild C.elegans and their associated bacteria. This is our second time sampling with the Host-Bacteria Interactions Workshop students.
Dalaena Rivera works with a videographer from JOVE to shoot our protocol describing how to conduct FISH for microbiome bacteria in C. elegans animals.
This is part of a collection of JOVE protocols on Methods for microbiome research in Caenorhabditis elegans
Congratulations to the Shikuma lab and our lab for receiving NIH MIRA grants! We’ve been having our Worm Rodeo joint lab meeting for years and its awesome/crazy to be funded by the same grant mechanisms at the same time.
Congratulations to Emily Morgan for graduating from SDSU with her BS in Biology!!!
Congratulations to the lab for receiving an NSF CAREER grant! We are celebrating with champagne and banh mi! That’s our third cork to be added the lab accomplishment shrine.
Undergraduate Emily Morgan give a talk on her research at the SDSU Student Research Symposium. Great job Emily, and good job answering all those questions!
Congratulations Tuan for your Nature Comms paper!

Going away dinner for Munira Ali. We will miss you Munira and good luck with medical school!
Emily Morgan works with a videographer from JOVE to shoot our protocol describing how to enrich for microbiome bacteria in wild-caught nematodes

We’ve gone sampling again with Shrek’s lab. Hope we find some new Pristionchus and new bacterial infections!
