主讲人简介：
Dr Janelle Thompson is now the visiting A. professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. She graduated from Stanford University and obtained her Ph. D. degree at MIT in 2005. Both of the environmental health engineering and environmental microbiology are her teaching interests.
She is interested in understanding the relationship between the structure of microbial communities and their function. She is employing the tools of molecular biology and genetics to identify the components of microbial communities, and to study their dynamics, interactions, and organization. Linking the activities of microbes to their genomic content and population structure is a critical step towards manipulating microbial systems for human benefit, be it pollution degradation or protection against pathogens.
