OverviewAI-generated summary
Jeffrey A. Lewis is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His research investigates the genetic and metabolic adaptations of microorganisms, particularly in response to environmental changes. Recent publications explore the genome of a nonphotosynthetic diatom, offering insights into its metabolic shift to heterotrophy and the constraints on the loss of photosynthesis. Other work examines the dynamic responses of diatoms to hypo-osmotic stress and their freshwater acclimation processes. Lewis also studies natural variation in yeast, identifying multiple pathways for increased stress resistance, and has developed laboratory activities for students to explore yeast isolation and brewing, as well as the microbiology of India Pale Ale production.
His work also extends to host-pathogen interactions, with research on diet-driven differences in host tolerance linked to global gene expression shifts in avian systems. Lewis has secured federal funding, including a $151,929 award from the NSF for the Fifth Annual NSF/MCB CAREER Awardee Conference. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Stephanie E. Hood, Tara Stuecker, Andrew J. Alverson, and Kala M. Downey, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Lewis maintains an active lab website to share his research activities.
