Problem Solver
Sandra Buerger
Areas Sandra Buerger is Knowledgeable in:
The majority of my background is in microbiology. I am familiar with environmental microbiology, especially marine microbial environments. I have also done work involving model organisms (Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium). I am familiar with bioassay-guided fractionation, microbial characterization via gene sequencing, and cultivation of microbes from a wide variety of sources.
Techniques Sandra Buerger Uses:
- Utilization of current technologies and development of new technologies to solve single cell cultivation problems.
Sandra Buerger's Problem Solving Skills:
- Bioassay development
- Light and epifluorescence microscopy
- Microbial characterization via gene sequencing
- Single cell approaches to microbial cultivation
- Detection of microbial species from mixed communities
- Cultivation of microbes (including novel and difficult to culture species)
- Anaerobic cultivation of microbes
- Musical Instruction (Piano, Guitar, Recorder, Theory)
- Sales (music industry)
Sandra Buerger's Problem Solving Experience:
- - I developed a bioassay for screening the growth inducing activity of chemical compounds in Mycobacterium.
- - I developed single-cell based approaches to examine microbial individuality.
