Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jeffrey A. Lewis is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His research focuses on understanding the genetic and metabolic adaptations of various organisms, particularly in response to environmental stress. He has investigated the genome of a nonphotosynthetic diatom to understand its metabolic shift to heterotrophy and the constraints on losing photosynthesis. Additionally, Lewis has studied the dynamic responses of euryhaline diatoms to hypo-osmotic stress, providing insights into freshwater acclimation and colonization processes.

His work also extends to microbial systems, examining natural variation in yeast to identify multiple pathways for enhanced stress resistance. Lewis has explored diet-driven differences in host tolerance linked to global gene expression shifts in avian host-pathogen systems. He has also been involved in developing educational activities, including a laboratory module for isolating and brewing wild yeast, and another testing the plausibility of the mythical origin of India Pale Ale through hop microbiology.

Lewis's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 17, with 72 total publications and 870 total citations. He has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for $151,929 as a Principal Investigator for a conference. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Stephanie E. Hood, Tara Stuecker, Andrew J. Alverson, and Kala M. Downey, with whom he shares multiple publications.
