Cornell Institute of Host-Microbe Interactions and Disease

Anthony Hay

The Hay lab uses methods from microbial ecology, physiology, genomics, and genetics to understand how human activities affect microbes in diverse environmental settings. For instance, we study how handling of milk collection kits affects the microbiome of pumped human milk. Students will use genomics to characterize the metabolic potential of bacteria isolated from this work.
