Research overview
We research the lifestyles and interactions of uncultivated microorganisms in the environment. A major focus of our lab is to understand how microbial communities function in aqueous environments, such as estuaries, aquifers, and hot springs. We also research genetic adaptations that enable microorganisms to inhabit particular conditions, and collaborate on host-associated systems research.
