Summary
Kylie Langlois is a Senior Research Technician based in Long Beach with a PhD in Marine Biology and over eight years applying molecular and chemical lab techniques to coastal and microbial ecology. At SCCWRP she specializes in culturing, ddPCR, metabarcoding, and bioinformatics workflows, pairing hands-on sample processing with reproducible data management and visualization in Python and R. Her background includes environmental monitoring and reporting to regulatory agencies, and she has experience depositing sequence data to public repositories like NCBI. Kylie blends rigorous lab technique (DNA extraction, PCR, dissolved nutrient analyses) with coding-driven sequence processing, enabling projects to move smoothly from field collection to publishable datasets. Colleagues rely on her for both teaching lab methods and translating complex microbial data into actionable environmental insights.
