What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Her primary areas of investigation include Euprymna scolopes, Vibrio, Ecology, Microbiology and Light organ.
Her study in Euprymna scolopes is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology, Morphogenesis, Leucine, Sepiolidae and Aliivibrio fischeri.
Her research investigates the connection between Vibrio and topics such as Symbiosis that intersect with problems in Colonization and Mutualism.
Her Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Animal development and Biological evolution.
Her studies examine the connections between Microbiology and genetics, as well as such issues in Peptidoglycan, with regards to Microbial pathogenesis, Human pathogen and Bacterial cell structure.
Her Light organ research is included under the broader classification of Bacteria.
Her most cited work include:
- Animals in a bacterial world, a new imperative for the life sciences (1396 citations)
- An ecological and evolutionary perspective on human–microbe mutualism and disease (1159 citations)
- The winnowing: establishing the squid-vibrio symbiosis. (536 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Euprymna scolopes, Light organ, Vibrio, Microbiology and Symbiosis are her primary areas of study.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Host, Morphogenesis, Aliivibrio fischeri and Cell biology in addition to Euprymna scolopes.
Her Light organ research focuses on Anatomy and how it connects with Photophore.
Her Vibrio research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bacterial outer membrane and Squid.
She combines subjects such as Mucus, Mutant, Innate immune system, Immune system and Peptidoglycan with her study of Microbiology.
