Host-pathogen interactions across the tree of life

We study bacterial ecological interactions, diversity, stability and stress in communities from pre-Cambrian oceans

Physics of living systems: Mathematical and physical models of microbial cell growth and division; Gene expression; Phenotypic variability; Evolutionary dynamics; TF search and first-passage-time problems; Collective dynamics in cell signaling

We study microbial interactions using cutting-edge laboratory approaches

Drug resistance in cancer, effects that intra-tumor bacteria on cancer biology and drug resistance, ex vivo organ culture for the prediction of drug response

Interactions between bacteria and the viruses that infect them
