The Belden Laboratory
Current Members of the Belden Laboratory:

Lisa Belden - PI

Lisa has broad interests, but is focusing most of her current efforts on understanding trematode dynamics in natural wildlife populations.

Education: BA University of Montana, PhD Oregon State University

 

Jeni Walke- Ph.D. Student

Jeni's research links microbial ecology, disease, and community ecology. Specifically, she seeks to understand the role of microbial symbionts in the innate immunity of amphibians and the effects of environmental conditions on disease outcome. Her research on amphibian skin microbial ecology is driven by the need to understand and control global amphibian declines and extinctions, especially in terms of disease outbreaks.
