Yanmei Shi

I am a graduate student in the DeLong Lab

Education 2005-,MIT 2005, MS, University of Maryland, College Park 2003, BS, Nanjing University, P.R.China Research Interests I am interested in applying culture-independent approaches to study the metabolic capabilities and in situ activities of different microbial communities in the oceans. By comparing gene expression profiles (at the mRNA level) from different marine microbial samples, I am hoping to better understand the interactions within microbial communities as well those between microbes and their ambient environmental conditions.
