Bio/Research
Our main focus is on interactions between the host plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, and the community of bacteria that inhabit it. We are interested in understanding how the ecology of these interactions shapes evolutionary trajectories, and how evolutionary change in turn impacts ecology. Our studies combine molecular evolutionary investigations with functional genomics under natural field conditions, and in that sense are broadly interdisciplinary.
