HiLIFE Webinar: Britt Koskella
Friends, Foes and Phages in the Phyllosphere
Britt Koskella is an Associate Professor in Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work explores the importance of the bacteria and viruses making up the microbiome in shaping plant health, ecology, and evolution. She received her BA from the University of Virginia in 2001 and her PhD from Indiana University in 2018, and subsequently held postdoctoral and independent research fellowships in both the US (funded by the NSF) and UK (funded by NERC) at Oxford University and the University of Exeter. She combines laboratory experimental evolution with studies of natural diversity to determine when and how phages impact microbial diversity, focusing primarily on the plant phyllosphere (above ground). More recently she has been exploring both how and why the microbiome associated with plants shapes pathogen establishment and disease progression, and has demonstrated that plant microbiomes can be selected upon to be better adapted to their hosts.
