Dr. Godin's research interests span developmental and environmental toxicology, science education, and bacteriophage genomics. She is particularly focused on identifying factors that influence student persistence in STEM careers and has contributed to national bacteriophage research initiatives. Her work in bacteriophage isolation and genome annotation involves extensive collaboration with undergraduate students, fostering experiential learning.
The recent publications highlight a consistent focus on the genomic characterization of bacteriophages infecting Arthrobacter and related bacterial hosts. These studies contribute to the growing database of phage genomes and support educational phage discovery programs. The research spans microbial diversity, viral genomics, and bioinformatics, often serving dual purposes in both scientific contribution and undergraduate training.
Dr. Godin has not been listed with any scientific awards in the provided text. However, her sustained involvement in national phage research networks and her mentorship of undergraduates suggest strong recognition in science education circles.
She actively mentors undergraduate researchers, as evidenced by her numerous co-authored publications with student contributors. While formal graduate advising is not indicated, her role emphasizes research-based learning and STEM retention. There is no mention of external grants, but her participation in large collaborative phage genomics projects implies involvement in funded educational-research initiatives.
Dr. Godin is affiliated with bacteriophage research networks such as the SEA-PHAGES program (implied through collaboration with Hatfull, Jacobs-Sera, and Russell), which integrates phage discovery into undergraduate curricula. Her lab or research team appears to be composed of Marist undergraduate students engaged in hands-on genomic research, contributing to national databases like GenBank.
