Rachael Kramp

Research Technician 2017-1019

Rachael was an undergraduate in Dr. Kat’s lab for almost 2 years before becoming a research technician. Rachael developed and implemented assays to isolate and characterize anaerobic microbes from stickleback and environmental samples and fluorescently labeling anaerobic microbes for localization assays. She was funded by INBRE Undergraduate Research Assistantship while she was an undergraduate. She now prepares and sequences gut microbes using our miseq, and collects fish that are undergoing rapid evolution in a nearby lake for both gut microbial analysis and SNP analysis for our collaborators at Stony Brook University in New York and UC-Berkley. She is now a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh.
