Activity-targeted metaproteomics elucidates syntrophic metabolisms in a full-scale biogas facility.

Friedline S, Madill MW, Waring KR, Hallam SJ, Ziels RM. IWA World Conference on Anaerobic Digestion (2024). Oral Presentation.

This was my first opportunity to publicly present the research that formed my M.Sc. thesis. I am very excited about these results and look forward to a peer-reviewed article being available very soon!


Production of PHB From CO2-Derived Acetate With Minimal Processing Assessed for Space Biomanufacturing.

Cestellos-Blanco S*, Friedline S*, Sander KB, Abel AJ, Kim JM, Clark DS, Arkin AP and Yang P. Frontiers in Microbiology. 12, 700010 (2021). https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2021.700010 (* indicates co-first authors)

This was my first (co-)first author publication! We collaborated between labs within the CUBES organization to develop a serial culture method for producing 3D printing materials in a resource-limited context.


Eliminating genes for a two-component system increases PHB productivity in Cupriavidus basilensis 4G11 under PHB suppressing, nonstress conditions.

This is the consortium paper that lays out the purpose and dreams that define CUBES. The imagination and creativity of this group remains my highest inspiration to this day.


Blueprint for a pop-up SARS-CoV-2 testing lab.

IGI Testing Consortium, Doudna JA, Green R, Hockemeyer D, Urnov FD. Nature Biotechnology. 38, 791–797 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-020-0583-3

At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, I had the opportunity to volunteer my time and energy to the rapid establishment of a Covid testing clinic on the UC Berkeley campus. I was fortunate enough to work alongsides some of the brightest minds at this institution and contributed to the design and deployment of a clinical Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) used to track samples through an automated processing workflow and report results to clinicians.
