Suen Lab

Cows and their microbes! Lab in @UWMadison Bacteriology Department interested in rumen microbial community ecology and function.

[Microbiology Doctoral Training Program @UWMadisonMDTP]

Ibrahim decided to join @UWMadisonMDTP at @UWMadison because of the amazing collaborative environment and the opportunities for microbiome research.

[Edna Chiang, PhD (ednachiang.bsky.social) @EdnaChiang]

I finally completed a dissertation chapter and submitted it for review!🙏

To any grad students who feel down because they haven't published, I'm a 6th year and this is my FIRST paper from my thesis.
There's nothing wrong with going slow & steady!

In case my life-long love of cows was ever in doubt, here is a photo of me in the summer of '03.

[Edna Chiang, PhD (ednachiang.bsky.social) @EdnaChiang]

My first preprint related to my PhD work on the hibernation microbiome!

The #microbiome recycles urea nitrogen in hibernating squirrels, especially during #hibernation!

#MDTP Student Highlight: Edna Chiang

@EdnaChiang studies the relationship between hibernating squirrels and their gut microbiome to help inform future research about biomedical issues related to diet and nutrition – like hibernating astronauts!

@SuenLab @13liner

[Microbiology Doctoral Training Program @UWMadisonMDTP]

Native Wisconsinite and @suenlab student Andrew Steinberger works with local dairy farmers to study how antibiotic use on farms impacts their prevalence of antibiotic resistance.

He plans to continue using microbiology to solve agricultural problems.
