Nguyen Hoang Yen Nhi

PhD Candidate

Nhi’s current research examines the dynamics of the algal-bacteria relationship, particularly between the microalgae Emiliania huxleyi and bacteria Phaeobacter inhibens. Her research interests lie in deciphering the role P. inhibens plays in the bloom-bust life cycle of E. hux, an ecologically important microalgae that is ubiquitious in the marine environment

Prior to joining the Case Lab, Nhi worked extensively on transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and Glycine max, improving the plants’ resilience to stressors like drought. She also worked on the microaglae Chlorella sorokiniana and its interactions with the bacteria Nostoc punctiforme.
