How Bacteria Build Communities That Can Impact Your Health

Posted on January 27, 2023

Bacteria are much more than single-celled organisms swimming around. Bacteria also form communities called biofilm, and work together to maintain the microbial community. Biofilm is just one research area of ISB’s Kuchina Lab. In this Research Roundtable presentation, ISB Assistant Professor Dr. Anna Kuchina details her work studying biofilms.

Kuchina Lab Participating in Project to Retool Microbes to Upcycle CO2

Posted on October 5, 2022

Anna Kuchina is a co-PI of a UW-led five-year, $15 million Department of Energy grant that will enable an interdisciplinary team of synthetic biologists to engineer microbial genomes that transform carbon dioxide into high-value chemicals. Specifically, Kuchina will work on multiplexed single-cell transcriptomic profiling of CRISPR-engineered bacteria to determine if the reprogrammed cells behave as intended.
