Kelly Rosch, Ph.D.

Microbiologist

 

Kelly is a postdoctoral researcher studying the diversity in shape and size of picocyanobacteria. How do different cell morphologies arise? What impact do these morphological differences have on predation by choanoflagellates? When she’s not working on these questions, Kelly can be found skiing, biking, running, or just marveling at the scenery.

Rebecca

Rebecca Medvecky

Biology Ph.D. Student

Rebecca is an experienced environmental chemist with nearly two decades of hands-on research in analytical chemistry, toxicology, and marine ecosystem health. She aims to better understand picocyanobacteria and their physiological and molecular responses to both man-made and environmental stressors through integrating chemistry, ecology, and innovation to advance marine environmental health and resilience.

Ruben Lancaster

Biology Ph.D. Student

Ruben is studying how picocyanobacteria respond to choanoflagellate predation across scales from single cells to populations, and developing methods for answering evolutionary questions in the Prochlorococcus model system.
