Christine Logue

Christine Logue serves as an Adjunct Biology Faculty and Lab Manager at Hillsborough Community College, actively contributing to the SEA-PHAGES (Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science) program since Fall 2018. She co-teaches BSC 2010L Biology Laboratory courses under primary instructor Margaret Hopson-Fernandes across multiple academic terms.

Her research focuses on Microbiology, specifically Phage Discovery and Bacterial Genetics, utilizing Microbacterium foliorum as the host organism for student-led phage isolation and characterization. This work provides foundational research experience in viral genomics and microbial evolution for undergraduate students.

From 2018 to 2024, Ms. Logue instructed 126 students across eight course sections (Fall 2018 through Spring 2024), with enrollments ranging from 12-19 students per term. All courses followed a consistent structure of two weekly meetings totaling four hours, with additional open lab sessions offered in select terms to support extended research activities.

As Lab Manager, she oversees biology department instructional facilities and supports the SEA-PHAGES program's hands-on curriculum. Her involvement includes participation in program workshops and symposia, contributing to this HHMI-funded initiative that integrates authentic research into undergraduate education.

No scientific awards or honors are documented in the provided materials. Her academic impact centers on undergraduate mentorship through structured laboratory instruction in phage genomics, where she guides students through experimental design, data collection, and analysis within the SEA-PHAGES framework.
