- Nichole Broderick received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin and went on to do her post doctoral research at in the lab of Bruno Lemaitre at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.
- During my post doctoral research here at the lab of Bruno Lemaitre in Switzerland, my research focused on characterization of the gut microbiota of insect hosts and studying the impacts on host.
- After joining the JHU, I made it my goal to answer questions pertaining to animal biology by understanding how animals interact with microbiomes, and whether or not that had a positive or negative implication on either party.
- I've created many publications that were based on research done on the interaction between animals and the microbiome. One of my most recent publications pertains to the idea that the micrbiome is affected by our diets, Microbiomes as modulators of Drosophila melanogaster homeostasis and disease. Curr Opin Insect Sci 2020; 39:84-90
- My work was done on fruit flies, and how it employs multiple mechanisms to maintain control over its microbiome. From this, we're able to make comparisons with the microbiomes of humans.
- My lab aims to understand mechanisms employed by different species of animals to control their microbiomes and how it can positively or negatively impact the organism's development and behavior.
