David N. Fredricks is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine and an Adjunct Professor of Microbiology at the University of Washington. He also serves as a Professor in the Vaccine and Infectious Disease and Clinical Research Divisions at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Fred Hutch), where he directs the Microbiome Research Initiative. His academic appointments span both clinical medicine and basic science research, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of his work. Dr. Fredricks' research focuses on the human microbiome with three primary areas of investigation: 1) The Human Microbiome and Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), examining factors determining genital tract constituents and how microbial communities impact health; 2) Pathogen Discovery, developing nucleic acid sequence-based methods to detect novel pathogens; and 3) Molecular Diagnostics, improving detection of known pathogens through sensitive diagnostic tests. His groundbreaking work has demonstrated that specific gut bacteria at neutrophil recovery can predict risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after hematopoietic cell transplantation, potentially enabling microbiota-based risk assessment and intervention. Analysis of Dr. Fredricks' recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on vaginal microbiome research with significant implications for HIV acquisition risk. His work has identified specific vaginal bacteria like BVAB3 and Leptotrichia/Sneathia species associated with increased HIV shedding in women. His research also explores how vaginal hygiene practices affect microbial communities, the relationship between gut microbiota and immune reconstitution after transplantation, and improved diagnostic methods for fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. This interdisciplinary research bridges microbiology, immunology, infectious diseases, and women's health, with substantial clinical and public health implications. As Director of the Fred Hutch Microbiome Research Initiative, Dr. Fredricks coordinates research across multiple divisions, bringing together investigators with expertise in study design, laboratory methods, animal models, human intervention studies, and data analysis. His laboratory team includes research technicians, graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and clinical research coordinators who employ molecular biology tools like broad range 16S rRNA gene PCR to characterize microbial diversity in human body sites. The initiative aims to leverage microbiome research to predict health outcomes, understand disease pathogenesis, and develop microbiota-based interventions relevant to cancer and infectious diseases.

Katie McGhee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Sewanee: The University of the South, where she has been teaching and conducting research since Fall 2015. She previously held postdoctoral positions at the University of Cambridge (2013-2015) and the University of Illinois (2009-2015). Her research focuses on behavioral ecology, particularly how early environmental experiences shape behavioral variation in fish species. McGhee earned her PhD from Florida State University under advisor Dr. Joseph Travis, following an MSc also at Florida State University with Dr. Don Levitan. Her academic journey has taken her from large research universities to a small liberal arts college setting, where she has adapted her teaching and research approaches to maximize undergraduate involvement. Dr. McGhee's research centers on how parental and early-life experiences affect behavioral development in fish. Using primarily the mangrove rivulus (Kryptolebias marmoratus), a self-fertilizing hermaphroditic fish, she investigates transgenerational effects of stress, predator exposure, and social interactions on offspring behavior. Her work explores how these early experiences influence risk assessment, exploration, mate choice, and other behavioral traits across generations. She approaches these questions from both ecological and evolutionary perspectives, examining how behavioral plasticity might serve as an adaptive response to environmental challenges. Analysis of McGhee's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on transgenerational effects of environmental stressors on fish behavior. Her work spans multiple model systems including mangrove rivulus, threespine stickleback, and mosquitofish, with particular attention to how parental experiences with predation risk shape offspring behavior. A notable trend is her increasing use of genetically controlled systems to isolate environmental effects, as well as her growing emphasis on the interaction between genetic background and early environmental experiences. Highlighted in a New Faculty Profile by the Society for the Study of Evolution Associate Editor for Proceedings of the Royal Society (Biological Sciences) Editor for Animal Behaviour (until 2024) Multiple papers featured as highlighted articles by journal editors Research featured in Nature Dr. McGhee is deeply committed to undergraduate research mentorship. She has guided numerous students through independent projects, many of which have resulted in publications where students are first authors. Her mentoring philosophy emphasizes building student confidence while providing constructive guidance, recognizing the importance of creating a safe space for students to learn through experimentation and occasional failure. She has successfully adapted her research program to thrive in a small liberal arts college environment without graduate students, focusing on projects that can be accomplished with undergraduate researchers. The McGhee lab operates within Sewanee's unique environment - a small liberal arts college with fewer than 1,800 undergraduate students situated on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, surrounded by over 10,000 acres of university-owned wilderness. This setting provides rich opportunities for both field and laboratory research, with easy access to diverse aquatic habitats where many of her study species are found. Her lab has produced research on topics including parental effects on offspring behavior, risk assessment in fish, mate choice, and chemical communication, with particular emphasis on the mangrove rivulus system.
