Scott Gifford
Research Interests: “Identification of genes and DOC compounds important for carbon cycling in marine microbial communities. The work relies heavily on the use of expression analyses such as RT-qPCR, microarrays, and metatranscriptomics. ”

Erinn Howard
Research Interests: “The bacteria and genes involved in dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) degradation in marine surface waters. Research techniques include transposon mutagenesis, PCR, gas chromatography, bioinformatics, and growth experiments to primarily study DMSP demethylation (via dmdA).”

Vanessa Varaljay-Spence
Research Interests: "The study of bacterially mediated sulfur cycling on a global scale using real-time ocean monitoring of sulfur genes in marine surface waters. One of the primary techniques currently in use includes quantitative PCR to examine key bacterial gene (dmdA) distribution, abundance, diversity, and expression mediating sulfur (DMSP) degradation in coastal environments."
