We explore why and how biodiversity evolves.  The lab uses microbes to follow adaptation and diversification happening in real time.  We also explore the impact of these fundamental evolutionary processes on applications in human health and the environment. Follow this link to our research page to find out more.

We also contribute to broader discussions on  science in society. Our activities span a wide range including training, policy, communications, and development.  Click here to go  'beyond the bench'.
