The Ecology of Predation at the Microscale
Description
Robert J. Mitchell followed his heart and traveled to South Korea, where in 2004 he received his PhD in Environmental Sciences at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) studying environmental toxicity sensing using bacterial bioreporters. After two post-doctoral fellows studying oral pathogens and fermentations/bioenergy production, first at Harvard University and then at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), respectively, he joined the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology where he has continued to pursue his career as a professor. His lab has meshed all of his previous experiences to delve deeper into the fields of applied microbiology and pathobiotechnlogy, with a heavy emphasis given towards understanding predatory bacteria.
