Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Samantha M. Howe's research focuses on the study of microbial communities, particularly in livestock. Her work investigates the diversity, composition, and functional potential of bacteria and archaea within animal microbiomes, employing techniques such as culturomics and metagenomics. Howe has examined how factors like weaning impact gut dysfunction and archaeal community structure in pigs, and has explored nutritional interventions for these animals. Her publications also address the application of absolute bacterial quantification in microbiome studies and decision-making for biological questions, alongside the role of culturomics in understanding host-microbiota interactions. Howe collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Jiangchao Zhao, Kristopher A. Bottoms, Charles V. Maxwell, and Ziyu Liu, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Her scholarship includes 20 publications with an h-index of 9 and 294 citations.
