Functional Redundancy and Metabolic Flexibility of Microbial Communities in Two Mid-Atlantic Bays

Genome-resolved metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis of functional redundancy and metabolic flexibility in estuarine microbial communities from the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays.

Diversity, Genomic Studies, and Resistance Mechanisms of Moderately Halophilic Bacteria

Genomic and physiological characterization of halophilic bacteria from salt pan ecosystems to understand stress adaptation, resistance mechanisms, and biotechnological potential.

Microbial Biofouling Interactions on Autonomous Navy Gliders

Genome-resolved and metagenomic analysis of marine biofilm communities on autonomous underwater vehicles to design a stable, invasion-resistant synthetic biofilm.

Resource Partitioning and Co-occurrence of Size-Fractionated Microbiomes in the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays

Integrative metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis of free-living and particle-associated microbial communities to understand resource partitioning, co-occurrence patterns, and functional redundancy in estuarine ecosystems.

Bacteriophages and Auxiliary Metabolic Genes of the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays

Integrative viromics using metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, and viral fractions to characterize viral taxonomy, auxiliary metabolic genes, host interactions, and ecosystem function in estuarine systems.

Biological and Microbial Responses to Deep-Sea Mining, Hypoxia, and Anthropogenic Disturbance

Environmental impact assessment of deep-sea mining, monsoon-driven hypoxia, and industrial disturbance using molecular and genomic approaches.
