Robert H. Lampe

I study the ecology, physiology, and molecular biology of marine phytoplankton. My research explores a wide range of topics, but is mostly within a few themes: (1) patterns in phytoplankton abundances, diversity, and function, (2) nutrient requirements, use, and stress responses to limitation, and (3) responses to natural variability and anthropogenic change. I am also interested in improving methods for environmental omics (metabarcoding, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics) characterization of marine microbes spanning sample collection, extraction and purification, and informatics.

For more information, see my research overview or publications. I also have some publicly available protocols, but I am happy to share additional methods not posted online.
