Juanita formally joined PriME in 2022 as a PhD student in Roman Stocker’s lab. Her project focused on investigating how bacteria can modulate changes in their physiology when they experience fluctuations in nutrient concentrations, a condition that closely mimic microbial environments. For this, she not only developed novel milli-fluidics culturing method but also established various collaborations within and outside out network.
She has recently defended her thesis “The physiological response of bacteria to growth under low nutrient concentrations” at the ETH Zurich. She will stay in the Stocker lab until the end of 2025 for finalizing manuscripts.
Thank you for your contribution to PriME, Juanita — your science journey has been amazing as your dedication 👏
