Welcome. We are a curiosity-driven research group with interests in:
- Rapid microbial evolution
- Mechanisms driving rapid evolution, including mobile genetic elements (selfish genes) and horizontal gene transfer
- Antibiotic resistance
- Functional innovation and the evolution of biological complexity
- Biomolecular design
- Evolutionary medicine
We aim to improve human and planetary health and wellbeing through scientific understanding and discovery. These are interconnected goals that guide the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences at Rutgers. Rutgers has a wonderful open and thriving research community, and is a great place to do science.
We are recruiting creative and energetic people with a firm commitment to scientific rigor and a strong desire to make new discoveries and inventions.
