Daniela Cardenas<\/h3>\n

Daniela Cardenas is a Postdoctoral Advanced Research Scientist whose research focuses on plant\u2013pathogen interactions using genomic and transcriptomic approaches. Her work has involved analyzing the genomes of diverse plant pathogens and characterizing virulence factors, including pathogen effector proteins, to better understand disease development and improve pathogen detection and management strategies. She is also interested in the genetic diversity and evolution of plant viruses. Currently, her research<\/a> includes transcriptomic analyses of seagrass, particularly turtlegrass (<\/span>Thalassia testudinum<\/em>), to investigate how marine plants respond to environmental stress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Omer Nadel<\/h3>\n

Omer is a postdoctoral researcher in Mya Breitbart\u2019s lab at the University of South Florida, where he investigates the impact of viruses on aquatic ecosystems across scales, from the atomic level to broad ecosystem-scale processes. Previously, he was at the University of Miami in Antoni Luque\u2019s lab, researching novel virus families and their evolutionary origins.<\/p>\n

Omer earned his Ph.D. in Marine Microbiology in 2024 from the Technion \u2013 Israel Institute of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Oded B\u00e9j\u00e0, specializing in the use of genetic engineering to study marine cyanobacteria and their phages. https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/omer-nadel-ph-d-946b90231\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
