Anais Gentilhomme: Astrobiologist and Extremophile expert
Anais joined the Nunn lab in 2023 to learn proteomic methods and lead a collaborative project with a team of researchers on the East Coast: Kristen Whalen, Elizabeth Harvey, and Julia Kubanek. Together we are working out the molecular signaling between phytoplankton and bacteria in the ocean.
Anais' Masters was completed with Eric Collins and Gwenn H. Hennon as her Advisors at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Her thesis was on GENOMIC SIGNATURES OF OPTIMAL GROWTH TEMPERATURE IN THE FAMILY COLWELLIACEAE.

Brook and Anais are headed to AbSciCon in Rhode Island May 5-10 2024. Anais Gentilhomme hopes to present her recent work on Cp34H, a marine psychrophile, living at subzero temperatures in perchlorate rich media. The work was a collaboration with the Junge Lab here at UW in the Applied Physics Department Polar Division. Kusum Dhakar, a postdoc from the Nunn lab, was interested in how a cold active organism would survive perchlorate stress so she worked in the Junge lab to grow them at several subzero temperatures. Anais has been completing the data analysis and finalizing a paper for submission!

Recent News
Anais recently finished a draft of her first manuscript from the Nunn lab! Working with Karen Junge's team here at UW, Anais analyzed proteomic data resulting from Colwellia psychrphacea (Cp34H) grown at -1 and -5 in artifical seawater and artificial seawater with perchlorates. She will be submitting the final draft to either Environmental Microbiology or Astrobiology....we have not decided! She plans to present the work at AbSciCon 2024 in Rhode Island.
