Brooke JudeAs a faculty member at Bard College, a liberal arts college in the Hudson Valley of New York, I am able to teach about what I love- microbiology, genetics, science communication- to students who love to learn. My research is focused on a group of local Hudson Valley aquatic microbes that produce violacein, a vivid purple pigment with antimicrobial properties. We are currently examining all aspects of these strains: where they reside, when they are prevalent, what their genomes look like, and what properties make these strains contributors to a healthy environment.
We currently work on these projects in the classroom, in the research lab, during the summer months, and through outreach with local school districts. If you have more questions about what we do in the Jude Lab, please contact us! I've also written a textbook, Biotechnology and Infectious Diseases: Modern Strategies for Finding, Evading, and Defeating Wicked Pathogens, published by Momentum Press. C.V. and Resume |
