Dr. Vero Roman-Reyna (postdoc in the team) won a travel award and will give an oral presentation at the World Microbe Forum (2021 ASM Microbe joint meeting with FEMS). This is really exciting for our lab present at this global meeting. She will present on exciting research about using metagenome sequencing for diagnostics of Xylella fastidiosa, an endemic US pathogen and one of emerging importance in Europe.
