Microbial genomics; Plant-microbe interactions; Microbe-microbe interactions

We study the mechanistic, ecological, and evolutionary bases for plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions. Our research program involves diverse taxa of bacterial pathogens and mutualists. Regarding approaches, our research program integrates traditional approaches in genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry with biological computing.
