PI Stabryla goes to EDAR7 Heading link
May 2024 – PI Stabryla presented a poster on her postdoctoral research at the 7th Environmental Dimension of Antibiotic Resistance meeting (EDAR7) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada! This work was done in collaboration with PI Keenum (Michigan Technological University) and Nadratun Chowdhury (EPA) and focused on evolution of antibiotic resistance in the human gut microbiome, titled “Assessing the Reproducibility of Whole-Microbial Community Evolution of AMR: Unraveling the Contributions of Vertical and Horizontal Gene Transfer”. She also participated in a public outreach activity called the EDAR7 Human Library – a library of scientists serving as “books” that members of the public could reserve for 15-minute one-on-one conversations around the threat of antimicrobial resistance. The link to the conference program can be found here.
