Jeremy joined PriME as a PhD student in the Moran Lab, where he investigated marine bacterial community interactions using novel fitness and chemotaxis assays. He then moved to the West Coast as a Postdoc in the Orphan Lab, using diatom-generated phytoplankton aggregates as a model system to study the colonization dynamics of heterotrophic bacterial communities and their role in carbon turnover.
Over the years, Jeremy has been a very active and valued member of the PriME community – we have been lucky to have him on board!
He now continues his journey back on the East Coast at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, investigating how bacteria and grazing protists consume viral particles.
Thank you for your contribution, Jeremy, and all the best for your new adventure!
