We are the Quantitative Evolutionary Microbiology Lab. We study how microbes grow, interact, and evolve using quantitative approaches. In particular, we seek to understand how fundamental evolutionary processes (such as mutation and selection) shape, and are shaped by, ecological and physiological aspects (such as nutrient limitation and intercellular interactions) of microbial communities. Our long-term goal is to develop a predictive theory of microbiology to solve problems in human health.
