TITLE
Genomic insights into diatom diversity in the sea

SPEAKER
E. Virginia Armbrust

WHERE
OHSU West Campus, Paul Clayton Building, Room PC401

SPEAKER BIO
Virginia Armbrust is a professor at the School of Oceanography, University of Washington. Phytoplankton are the main focus of research in her lab. These organisms are responsible for about 40% of the total amount of photosynthesis that occurs on our planet. They play a critical role in the global carbon cycle and ultimately in global climate. Because much of the organic carbon generated by phytoplankton is used by bacteria, she studies bacterial/phytoplankton interactions.
