Dr. Cuellar-Gempeler is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Humboldt State University.
We are looking for new members for our team. Check our opportunities page! |
Research in our lab focuses on the assembly and function 0f microbial communities associated with plants and animals. Our research questions relate to microbial metacommunities, ecosystem function and eco-evolutionary dynamics. To tackle these questions, we use three approaches: (1) ecological theory, (2) natural microcosms and experimental manipulations and (3) cutting-edge molecular and bioinformatic tools.
Check out our research page: You will find crabs, bacteria and protozoa, pitcher plants, and more. There is something for everyone. Meet the Team! And check out what everyone is up to. In my free time, I sing songs about science. |
NEWSFeb 7: Congratulations to A.H. Huebner for obtaining the Siering/Wilson Endowment award! We ll be sequencing fungi associated with Astragalus applegatei
We also obtained support from HSU via the RSCA award to continue our work with pitcher plant associated bacterial function. Alejandro will be leading this effort with support from Breane, Brooke and Esmeralda. We are off to a good start this semester! Jan 11: Great time at AmNat2020! caught up with friends and academic family. Stimulating science and motivating conversations. Cannot wait to get this semester started! Welcome to the lab to Robyn Botsch, Lindsay Nelson and Esmeralda Villarreal! Welcome back to Megan Williford! Dec18. Wrapping up the semester! we are all rushing to get samples plated/DNA extracted and some writing done before the Holidays. All teams did great this semester! Hope to get things analyzed soon so we can share our progress with everyone. Have a wonderful break! May all the good microbes be with you. News Archive: Read about the news of the past. Pinned news:
