"STAMPS aren't just for letters: my experience at the Marine Biological Laboratory"

By Liam Peterson, Ph.D.

The myHub Travel Award allowed me to attend the Strategies and Techniques for Analyzing Microbial Population Structures (STAMPS) course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. This course was directed by leaders in the field of microbiome studies including Amy Willis, Ph.D. (University of Washington), and Titus Brown, Ph.D. (University of California, Davis). The course consisted of didactic lecturing and laboratory instruction, which provided valuable insight on current methods used in microbiome, metagenomic, and multiomic analysis.
