Well done Shaelyn 👏!
Shaelyn joined PriME in 2022 as a PhD student in Victoria Orphan’s lab. During these years she investigated how the spatial structures and functions of microbial communities drive their activities on diatom particles. She used activity-based techniques to explore microbial activity at the single-cell level on particles.
She has recently successfully defended her thesis “From pure cultures to particles: Tracing microbial metabolism through amino acid 2H/1H ratios” and obtained a PostDoc position in the group of Schubert/Ackermann starting from fall 2025.
We are very happy to keep you onboard with us for longer 😀 and looking forward to see your future science discoveries! 🦠🔬🚀
