Marc G Chevrette, PhD
Marc is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology, Resident Discovery Fellow at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, and Affiliate Faculty in the Department of Bacteriology, all at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to UW, Marc was an Assistant Professor in Microbiology & Cell Science at the University of Florida, a postdoctoral associate in the Handelsman lab at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, and Head of Experimental Genomics at Warp Drive Bio (now Ginkgo Bioworks).

Julia Nepper, PhD
Julia is the lab manager for the Chevrette lab, where she supports the day-to-day research operations in the lab to keep things running safely and seamlessly. Prior to joining the Chevrette lab, Julia was a postdoctoral associate in the Handelsman lab at UW-Madison, before which she worked as a Science Writer for Promega Corporation in Fitchburg, WI. Her research experience is concentrated in bacteriology and molecular biology, but has also included collaborations with researchers in science communication and education.

Andrés Cumsille, PhD
Andrés is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Plant Pathology and the Wisconsin Insitute for Discovery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining the Chevrette Lab, Andrés was associated with the Cámara Lab at UTFSM in Chile. He brings extensive experience in utilizing genomics and metabolomics for the study of secondary metabolites in bacteria.

Murrel Saldanha
Murrel is a Ph.D. student in the Biophysics Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has worked as a research assistant at University of South Florida where she used chemogenomic approaches to identify novel drug candidates and drug targets against malaria. She is interested in using genome mining to contribute to drug discovery and global AMR efforts.

Ava Clark
Ava is a PhD student in the Microbiology Doctoral Training Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is co-advised by Dr. Nancy Keller. Before joining the Chevrette Lab, Ava was an undergraduate researcher at the Pfleger Lab at UW-Madison, where she studied metabolic engineering in E. coli for biofuel production, and at IFF, where she worked on improving lactic acid bacterial strains for use in dairy products. She currently studies secondary metabolites involved in bacterial-fungal interactions.

Josephine Putnam
Josephine is a PhD student in the Microbiology Doctoral Training Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to joining the Chevrette Lab, Josephine was a post-baccalaureate and undergraduate researcher in the Handelsman Lab at UW-Madison. There, she studied soil bacteria as sources of antibiotics, as models of microbial interaction, and as potential biocontrol agents against plant disease. She is interested in understanding how bacteria communicate with each other using secondary metabolites.
