Tyler is a co-lab manager and research technician in the Ibberson Lab who is driven to investigate how environmental factors influence biology on micro and molecular levels. Tyler’s graduate work characterized adaptations to low environmental oxygen in the blind Mexican cavefish. He aims to apply many of the same techniques to further our understanding of polymicrobial community composition as it relates to treatment outcomes. Outside the lab, Tyler enjoys cheering on One Knox SC and FC Cincinnati, playing chess and other board games, and hiking.

Aanuoluwa is a Microbiology Ph.D. Candidate whose work is focused onunderstanding the interactions between Staphylococcus aureus and other key microbes that make up the infection community in human chronic wounds. Her goal is to highlight how these interactions may impact the infection stability and virulence of S. aureus. She is particularly interested in investigating how this microbial community structure and function can be replicated in experimentally tractable models of infection.
