Image: Xiaojia He won 1st place for his poster entitled "Inferring the mechanism of anaerobic oxidation of methane using reactive transport modeling" at the Metabolic Pathway Analysis 2017 Meeting in Bozeman, MT. MPA 2017 focused on computational approaches to decode biological principles found in ‘omics’ data sets and spanned the gamut of fundamental and applied biology including biofuels, photosynthesis, multicellular systems, environmental nutrient cycles, and human health. The MPA conference series integrates a highly interdisciplinary group of international biologists, computer scientists, engineers and mathematicians for formal and informal discussions focused on state-of-the-art advances in metabolic network analysis methodology, theory and application. From all of us in Marine Science- congratulations, Xiaojia!!!
