Trainee authors paper and attends international course

Elizabeth Diesel, an EIGER trainee, was first author on on an invited review article that will appear in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry in June 2009. This paper reviews the current state of microbial bioassays for monitoring arsenic in groundwater, and provides a critical look at the future of bioassays for arsenic detection. This paper meets at the intersection of hydrogeology, geochemistry, and microbiology. Ms. Diesel also participated in the Fast Advanced Cellular and Ecosystems Information Technologies (FACEiT) Advanced Course on Molecular Methods and Biological Tools in Environmental Impact Analysis at the Univeristy of Lausanne in July 2008. The week-long course introduced biological methods for the detection and environmental impacts of petroleum pollution in oceanic environments, and was taught by consortium of researchers from Europe involved in Fast Advanced Cellular and Ecosystems Information Technologies research.
