Regina Lamendella is an American Professor of Microbiology. She is best known for the use of omics for applied studies of microbiology in natural waterways and the guts of animals, including humans.

Lamendella collaborates with and leads teams of scientist and healthcare professionals developing novel approaches to identify and screen for microorganisms in diverse environments, from waterways to human tissue. For example, her work suggests that eating walnuts may be good for human gut flora, resulting in improved heart health. Lamendella has also contributed to local testing for COVID-19 among rural Amish communities.

Education

Lamendella earned her B.A. in biology from Lafayette College. From the University of Cincinnati, she earned a M.S. in environmental science, a M.S. in molecular biology, and in 2009 she completed her PhD. From 2009-2012, she completed postdoctoral studies at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Employment

In 2012, Lamendella joined the faculty of Juniata College, where she is currently an Associate Professor and holds the George '75 and Cynthia '76 Valko Professorship in Biological Sciences.
