🌟 Featuring Wei Qin
Dr. Wei Qin is an Assistant Professor at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Qin focuses on understanding the biogeochemical role of globally significant microorganisms, particularly nitrifying prokaryotes such as ammonia-oxidizing archaea, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, complete ammonia oxidizers (Comammox), and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. His research investigates how these microorganisms influence nitrogen cycling in marine and terrestrial ecosystems and their adaptations to anthropogenic stress and climate change. His work combines laboratory-based physiological studies with meta-omics field research to examine the ecological success, metabolic interactions, and impacts of global changes on nitrifying communities and nutrient cycling.
