The lab’s research focuses on discovering new functions encoded among gut anaerobic bacteria and bacteriophages using high-throughput functional genomics. We are also interested in bacteria-phage interactions and how phages alter bacterial physiology and microbial composition dynamics. The overall goal is to advance our understanding of the gut microbiota at the molecular level. Research projects leverage cutting-edge techniques, including DNA barcoding, short and long-read sequencing technologies, and high-throughput functional genomics.
Expertise in isolation/cultivation of anaerobes and/or phages, anaerobic techniques, functional genomics, sequencing, high-throughput assay development, biochemistry, bioinformatics, analytical chemistry (LC-MS, HPLC), and microbial genetics
Self-motivation, ability to work independently and collaborative within a team, time-management, and organizational skills, strong communication skills
