@[email protected] Assistant prof @UWDEOHS and @uw_cee (she/her). AMR, pathogens, microbiomes
Joined July 2020
Thrilled to share our lab's first manuscript detailing our method for full length sequencing of ARGs.

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are a growing group of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) enzymes that can result in severe clinical outcomes. The CTX-M gene (≈ 876 base pairs) encodes for...

Congrats to the @marchandlab on their first paper! Imagine what we can do with 12 letters
Our group's first publication is out now - open access in Nature Communications: "Enzymatic synthesis and nanopore sequencing of 12-letter supernumerary DNA" #XNA #Xenobiology #nanopore #Sequenxing #XenonucleicAcids #NatureComms

"...water, soil, and animal food products [are] environmental transmission pathways for exchange of ARB and ARGs between animals and humans, although directionality of transmission is poorly understood" from @JennaSwarthout @SeqH2O et al. in @EnvSciTech:

Data on community-acquired antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are particularly sparse in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Limited surveillance and oversight of antibiotic use in...

NEW: Although no longer permitted in new construction, combined sewer systems are still found—and still overflowing—across the US. Miller et al. explored whether upgrades to these systems help matters. Read our summary ➡️ https://t.co/pf99RrrY58

The Fuhrmeister lab ( https://t.co/w8VvoY5I6N) will be opening @UWDEOHS in June 2022 and is recruiting students! We will study the link between health, pathogens, AMR, and the environment. Just 2 weeks left to apply to our grad program- https://t.co/LGHOXOESVl

what is this @NatureComms? "mentors benefit more when working with male protégés" "current diversity policies promoting female–female mentorships, as well-intended as they may be, could hinder the careers of women" I mean... Really???
this paper is misguided at best and willfully harmful at worst. nothing has been better for my career than my women mentors. nothing. it is why I continue to actively seek them out, and why I continue to be involved in women’s mentorship organizations like @HGWISE

Liquor store and trash cans were most contaminated in our logitudinal surface sampling study of SARS-CoV-2 RNA but risk of infection was low. Check it out! #COVID19
Can you get COVID-19 from touching the grocery store door handle? Probably not - we estimate the risk at <5 in 10,000. But SARS-CoV-2 RNA on high-touch public surfaces may be a leading indicator of community case trends. New pre-print out! #1440funded
