Congrats to Hinako Kawabe on her manuscript on highly multiplexed pathogen detection. 

Megan O'Brien won the Innovative Research Poster Award at the Microbes in Wastewater 2025 conference.

Megan's poster presented her work on targeted, context sequencing of ARGs in wastewater. 

Congrats to lab members Angelo Ong, Anysiah Taylor, and Ruohan Hu on their manuscript detailing our method to sequence full length antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater. 

Lab members Angelo and Shannon graduated from the University of Washington's Department of Environmental and Occupational Health with a Master of Science Degree.  Undergraduates Anysiah and Ruohan graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health-Global Health. 

Angelo's research focused on developing a targeted long-read sequencing assay to sequence full length ARGs in wastewater. 

Shannon's thesis proposed an alternative definition of "stewardship" to support Dairy veterinarians in their practice. 

Anysiah and Ruohan supported Angelo's thesis, developing both laboratory and data analysis methods. 

MS Candidate Angelo Ong won the Best Research Communication Award at the Microbes in Wastewater 2024 conference.

Angelo's poster presentation focused on the development of a long-read, targeted sequencing method for characterizing CTX-M in Seattle-area wastewater.

The University of Washington's Department of Environmental and Occupational Health released a profile highlighting the Fuhrmeister Lab Group.
