Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Tamara S. Haselkorn's research focuses on the complex interactions within microbial communities, particularly the symbiotic relationships between microorganisms and their hosts. Her work investigates the prevalence and dynamics of endosymbionts in various host organisms, including the social amoeba *Dictyostelium discoideum* and species of *Drosophila*.

Her publications explore the impact of host phylogeny, diet, and dispersal on the composition and function of bacterial communities associated with these hosts. Haselkorn's research delves into inferring symbiont function and understanding how these associations influence the host's microbiota. She has published 44 papers, accumulating over 2,900 citations, and holds an h-index of 23. Key collaborators include James G. DuBose, Michael Scott Robeson, Hunter Olsen, and J. Donald Bowen.

Haselkorn leads a research group and maintains an active lab website, indicating ongoing research endeavors in her field. Her recent work, published in 2025, continues to explore the ecological and evolutionary factors shaping microbial symbiont frequencies in social amoeba communities.
