Illuminating Marine Symbioses: Microbial Interactions, Evolution, and Inclusive Science

Lydia Baker

Interactions among organisms are catalysts for biological innovation; this is especially true for symbiotic relationships between marine bacteria and their animal hosts.? From the glowing symbioses of anglerfish to gooey lesions on sharks and the intricate partnerships between bacteria and coral reefs, my research unravels the diverse and fascinating microbial interactions across marine life. Leveraging advanced sequencing methodologies and bioinformatics, my research explores evolutionary trajectories, ecological strategies, and transmission methods of symbiotic bacteria. Understanding interactions is also essential to fostering a more inclusive scientific community. At my position at CSUMB I aim to expand on existing undergraduate and post-baccalaureate programs, as well as initiate strategic partnerships with local organizations and leverage diverse communication platforms to diversify outreach initiatives at CSUMB and beyond.
