WELCOME

Our lab is interested in questions at the interface of physics and biology. We use a number of experimental techniques from molecular microbiology as well as computational methods to elucidate physical models of biological phenomena. Beyond these fundamental questions, we also have applied efforts to design new technologies for clinical, forensic, and environmental sampling. Some ongoing projects include:

  • Measurement of the basal error rate of protein translation and the error spectrum
  • Studying the population dynamics of phage/host relationship as a model system for selective pressure and evolution
  • Design of a rapid enrichment technology for sampling polymicrobial communities without the need for culturing or downstream sequencing
  • Development of computational methods for addressing the complexities of whole genome sequencing of novel environmental isolates and/or communities
  • High throughput genetic screening for the identification of novel gene function relationships in eukaryotes that enable opportunistic infection

Due to financial constraints, the lab is not accepting applications for Spring 2010 internships.

January was a good month for data!!!!!!
