Welcome to the Sullivan Lab (a.k.a. The Tucson Marine Phage Lab) | ||||||||||
We're a brand new lab (since Jan 2008) in Life Sciences South (LSS203 and 207) with affiliations with a primary appointment in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department, and a courtesy appointment in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Department. I am actively recruiting graduate students and funded post-doctoral researchers (note for post-docs, I am a PERT mentor). If you are interested in the projects described in these pages, please contact me at msbulli@email.arizona.edu. The is focused in three primary research areas: Cyanophages, Roseophages, Sea of Cortez Project. Through the use of (meta)genomics, we query 'wild' viral populations to identify important hypotheses that can be evaluated using model-system approaches with appropriate cyanophage and/or roseophage isolates. |

 The marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, globally important primary producers. In spite of their small size, these cyanobacterial cells are numerically dominant over vast areas of the "desert oceans" and are significant contributors to global carbon cycling. These were some of the earliest "ecological microbes" sequenced by the DOE JGI, which led to...(find out more about my research) |
