In addition, Dr. Connell has been involved with instrument development using biological sensors including the use of peptide nucleic acid sensors for more than a decade. Working in concert with the UMaine Engineering Department, the Connell Lab is utilizing molecular techniques to develop quick and accurate sensors for several applications. Current research has focused on detection of the harmful alga Alexandrium as well as the potato pathogen and select agent, Synchytrium endobioticum. Finally, working with a number of collaborators (see collaborator page) Dr. Connell has been heading far south during the Maine winter. For several years she has been studying the fungi and yeast in the harsh environment of the McMurdo area around Ross Island, Antarctica. Collecting soils and placing microbial "traps" in an array of extreme environments the team is investigating colonization and the base of the food web utilizing volcanic substrates. Please browse our current project pages for more information.
