Barrick is broadly interested in understanding evolution as a creative force. His lab uses experiments with populations of bacteria, biomolecules, and digital organisms to study the fundamental constraints and opportunities common to evolving systems. They formulate and test new biological organizing principles from a systems perspective that integrates ecology, population genetics, genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and computer science. Ultimately, the Barrick lab will apply these principles to study microbial populations and genome architectures in the wild and in clinical settings, and to manipulate evolution to engineer solutions to medical and biotechnological challenges.
