Projects
I am focusing on growing moss in the lab to mimic the habitat of tardigrades to be culture them in the lab. With success in culturing large amounts of tardigrades this will fuel genetic research of tardigrades to distinguish what genes are expressed that make them express their specific traits. I'm also working on amplifying the DNA of the bacteria found inside nematodes to determine what the Antarctic nematodes eat.
