saclarke at MIT

I am a third-year [http://web.mit.edu/be/ Biological Engineering] (BE, MIT Course XX) graduate student in the [[Alm_Lab|Alm lab]] (48-324).  Our focus is on the evolution of microbial genomes, and I am specifically working on engineering genetic diversity and stress tolerance in ''Vibrio splendidus''.  I hope to determine what alleles and loci contribute to environmental stress tolerance and whether these have analogues in the ocean environment.

 

Last year I was a coordinator of the [[BE Board | BE graduate student board]].  I have also been the first-year class representative, and am always happy to hear suggestions about improvements to the department.
