Chantle Edillor, PhD is a 🏷️#scientist, geneticist, and microbial ecologist whose work integrates molecular biology, 📝fermentation science, and 📝Systems Thinking. Edillor received her PhD in Human Genetics from 📝UCLA where she did research on metabolic disease models. When the 📝COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed the convergence of her loves for cooking and science, she transitioned into fermentation science—doing her post-doctoral research in 📝yeast–bacteria 📝mutualism in the 📝Kruglyak Lab. Today, she is an Assay Development Scientist at the 📝Astera Institute, investigating the evolutionary genetics of fermented microbial ecosystems as she builds 📝Microcosm Foods from within. Her research emphasizes genetic architectures that stabilize spontaneous communities of yeast and 📝lactic acid bacteria and reframes microbial interactions beyond an anthropocentric lens. ...
