Research
Dr. Cozy is a microbiologist who studies how bacteria and fungi produce secondary metabolites, including antibiotics and interesting flavor compounds. She works with students to isolate and characterize bacteria and yeasts from the environment and screen them for the production of interesting compounds. These organisms can then be characterized metabolically, physiologically, and molecularly. Her work aligns with the Tiny Earth project which seeks to student-source antibiotic discovery.
