Syeda Mehreen Tahir is a 5th year Ph.D. candidate in Environmental Biology at Arizona State University working with Dr. Jon Harrison and Dr. Arianne Cease. Her research focuses on nutritional immunology, examining how dietary protein-to-carbohydrate ratios shape immune function and disease outcomes. Using a multi-omics approach that integrates physiological assays, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, her work explores trade-offs between immune investment and pathogen susceptibility, with broader implications for host–pathogen interactions in variable nutritional environments. Mehreen is currently seeking postdoctoral opportunities and would be delighted to hear from potential collaborators or mentors at smtahir2@asu.edu.

This week's #SICB student awardee spotlight is on
Division of #Ecoimmunology and #Disease #Ecology
Best student talk: Syeda Mehreen Tahir

Trina notes: I am broadly interested in the #evolutionary pressures that shape animal #acoustic signaling, such as mate selection, within-individual variation, and environmental contexts. I work with several species of chorus #frogs and treefrogs around Knoxville, utilizing acoustic recordings and female phonotaxis behaviors as a measure of female preference.

We will be featuring our #SICB student awardees weekly
