He discussed how advances in nucleic acid sequencing technologies have revolutionized our ability to characterize complex microbial communities in engineered and natural environments. Yet, utilizing this nucleic acid sequencing data for real-time decision making – from risk assessment to

We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Ameet J. Pinto as our seminar speaker on February 20, 2026. His presentation, “Advancing Autonomous Phytoplankton Monitoring: Genotype to Phenotype,” showcased innovative approaches in his research.
