Miranda Mudge

PhD Candidate
Molecular and Cellular Biology Department
University of Washington
​​Miranda is a PhD candidate in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Department working jointly in the MacCoss and Nunn labs. She is broadly interested in using proteomics to better understand how microbiomes influence their environment, specifically by adapting DIA methods for metaproteomics. Her project involves using the circadian rhythmicity of marine microbiome peptides to forecast the formation of harmful algal blooms. Within the lab, Miranda has also studied how environmentally-relevant cold active bacteria maintain cellular activity after long-term exposure to extreme conditions, as well as how microbiome controls on eukaryotes inhibit viral infections. Prior to joining the lab, Miranda studied DNA damage repair at Washington University in St. Louis, as well as developed a mouse melanoma model at Missouri State University, where she graduated with a M.S. in Cellular and Molecular Biology.
