Date: May 4, 2015. Kevin Panke-Buisse: Rhizosphere Microbiome: Manipulation and Investigation

Kevin Panke-Buisse is a PhD Candidate in the Kao-Kniffin Lab in the Horticulture section of the School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University.

Soil microorganisms found in the root zone impact plant growth and development, but the potential to harness these benefits is hampered by the sheer abundance and diversity of the players influencing desirable plant traits. This talk will outline some of the ways we can manipulate the rhizosphere microbiome and look at shifts across treatments via 16s sequencing.

Date: Oct 13, 2014. Julia Goodrich: Conducting a microbiome study

Julia Goodrich is a PhD student in the lab of Dr. Ruth Ley in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and the Department of Microbiology at Cornell University.

Human microbiome research is an actively developing area of inquiry, with ramifications for our lifestyles, our interactions with microbes, and how we treat disease. Bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene sequence data from complex microbial communities present statistical and computational challenges. She will present some of the standard techniques currently used to characterize microbial communities.
