BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Shikuma is an Associate Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at San Diego State University. His research program combines microbiology, genetics and developmental biology to study how bacteria stimulate the metamorphic development of marine animals and Contractile Injection Systems (CIS) in human gut bacteria that promote host-microbe associations. Dr. Shikuma is a Sloan Foundation Fellow and recipient of an NSF CAREER award, multiple Office of Naval Research (DOD, USA) grants and a Moore Foundation Symbiosis in Aquatic Systems grant.
