Ochman was originally trained as a population geneticist at the University of Rochester, where he received his Ph.D. in 1984. Technical advances in molecular biology prompted his switch to studying the organization and evolution of bacterial genomes and for the …

Dr. Xhemalce received her Ph.D. at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France and performed her postdoctoral training at the Gurdon Institute at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. The focus of her research is to unravel how gene …

The Wilke Lab uses computational biology. Bioinformatical and statistical methods are employed to analyze biological data sets, in particular whole-genome and high-throughput data sets; The Wilke Lab also develops mathematical models and computer simulations of biological systems. While the lab …

The Whiteley Lab uses a multifaceted approach to study two important aspects of infectious disease: chronic infections and polymicrobial infections. By combining gene expression analysis and whole-genome shotgun sequencing, Dr. Whitely is identifying traits that promote chronic infection and common …

Max Shpak’s research has focuses on evolutionary genetics and computational biology.
