Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobyn Wright is a marine microbial ecologist and bioinformatician with a decade of experience studying microbial communities on natural and synthetic polymers, currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Langille Lab at Dalhousie University. She combines hands-on lab skills (DNA/RNA extraction, sequencing, proteomics) with computational expertise in Python, R and amplicon/whole-genome bioinformatics (DADA2, QIIME, PICRUSt2), enabling integrative proteogenomic and metabolomic analyses. Her PhD work dissected the PET Plastisphere and plasticizer degradation, translating isolate-level proteogenomics into community succession insights that inform microbiome selection. A Blue Charter Fellow, she has bridged policy-facing work on the marine Plastisphere with technical research, reflecting an ability to connect science to broader environmental initiatives. Based in Halifax, she brings both field and wet-lab experience with a track record of peer-reviewed work and interdisciplinary collaboration.
