During her doctoral work, Megan specialized in uncovering new ways bacteria can become less susceptible to antibiotics through her work with the Doerr lab. However, her long-term passion is seeded in communicating science to the public, either through the instruction of rising young scientists, or[...]

The Nisbett lab is interested in determining the mechanisms of pathogenesis of clinically significant yet critically understudied bacterial pathogens such as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). In the clinic, NTM infections have become increasingly problematic as they are the primary cause of pulmonary lung infections, and are difficult[...]

We focus our research efforts on discovery and molecular characterization of bacterial factors involved in bacterial-plant interactions, with particular interests in bacterial signaling systems and small non-coding RNAs. Another area of research is the development of new management strategies for bacterial pathogens. We use a[...]

We look to elucidate the mechanisms through which small proteins, approximately 50 amino acids in length, contribute to the regulation of stress responses in bacteria, with a particular focus on E. coli and B. subtilis. Our research revolves around exploring the role of these small[...]

Dan’s research focuses on the assembly and transmission of host-associated microbial communities. He is interested in understanding where your microbiota comes from in early life, how microbes are transmitted between hosts, and the ecological and evolutionary forces that shape these microbial communities as they develop[...]

Our lab seeks to understand and prevent spillover of zoonotic pathogens from wildlife to other species. We develop the science of pandemic prevention through collaborative, transdisciplinary science. We work in the field, the lab, and in silico, all with a commitment to translate the science[...]

I investigate what drives hosts’ contributing to pathogen dynamics across biological scales, from host-pathogen molecular interactions to host species interactions. To do so, I combine theoretical, observational, and experimental approaches, and consider various study systems in the lab and in the field, including emerging bat-borne[...]

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[...]

The Kim Lab focuses on the general fields of population genetics and evolutionary biology. Dr. Kim is interested in computational problems relevant to understanding evolutionary processes and population dynamics, and in development and application of statistical methods for inference from genetic data. In addition to[...]
