Carmen Elvira Rey Redondo successfully defended her doctoral thesis on November 29, 2024, marking a historic moment as the first PhD graduate from Yung’s research group.
Dr. Rey Redondo’s thesis presents comprehensive research on microbial communities in the South China Sea’s coastal waters. Her work combines traditional culture methods with cutting-edge multi-omics approaches to characterize marine microorganisms. A particular highlight was her discovery and characterization of a new species of marine algae, Mantoniella tinhauana, and its associated virus.
Let’s raise a toast to Dr. Carmen Elvira Rey Redondo and the Yung Lab team!
