There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

A brief summary of Jessica Mark Welch's research:
How microbes are spatially organized is a fundamental question in microbial ecology about which little is known. Spatial organization in a host-associated microbial community is a reflection of dynamic interactions within the community and between the community and its eukaryotic host. My research uses multiplexed fluorescence in situ hybridization and spectral imaging to investigate the spatial organization of microbial communities in the human mouth, in the vertebrate gut, and in marine environments. These imaging results generate testable hypotheses about specific taxon-taxon interactions and about the role of the host in shaping microbiome community structure.
