Collaborative paper: Berthelot H., Duhamel S., L’Helguen S., Maguer J.F., Wang S., and N. Cassar. 2018. NanoSIMS single cell analyses reveal the contrasting nitrogen sources for small phytoplankton. The ISME Journal, doi: 10.1038/s41396-018-0285-8 Access
Bravo Hugo!
Dr. Matthew T. Cottrell (May 2016)
Associate Scientist at the University of Delaware.
Matt developed innovative approaches for assessing the link between bacterial community structure and function (Micro-FISH).
Matt trained Solange Duhamel in Micro-FISH and visited the Duhamel Lab to set up their epifluorescence microscopy system for automated image analyses of marine bacteria (cell count, size, and Micro-FISH).
Dr. Maria del Mar (Mariona) Segura i Noguera (March 2016 and September 2018)
Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sheffield (UK) working on understanding the relationship between the distribution of nutrients in the sea and the elemental composition of phytoplankton.
Mariona uses energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDS, EDX or XRMA) to study the elemental composition at the single-cell level.
Dr. Katyanne Shoemaker (January 2016)
Graduate student - Moisander Lab UMass Dartmouth: https://www.umassd.edu/cas/biology/faculty--staff/pia-moisander/.
Katyanne studies microbial diversity associated with copepods.
