Greg Krukonis

Greg Krukonis served as a Primary Instructor in the SEA-PHAGES program from 2014 to 2016, teaching courses in phage discovery and genomics. He instructed 47 undergraduate students across three course sections at an unspecified institution, covering both laboratory-based phage isolation using Mycobacterium smegmatis and Arthrobacter sp. hosts, and computational genome analysis.

His research interests include:

• Phage Genomics
• Bioinformatics
• Microbiology
• Phage Discovery

As part of the HHMI-funded initiative, Dr. Krukonis guided freshmen and sophomores through full phage research cycles from isolation to genomic annotation, dedicating 3-8 hours weekly per course. No scientific awards, laboratory facilities, or current institutional affiliations were documented in the provided records.
