Our lab uses theoretical modeling, large-scale supercomputer simulations and wetlab experiments to address questions in evolutionary and systems biology. Our research focus on the emergence of microbial strategies and it aims to identify the methods, networks and computational modules that enables a complex behavioral repertoir. In addition we aim to provide design techniques, software/hardware tools and engineering solutions to challenges in genetic engineering and synthetic biology.

The lab is part of the UC Davis Genome Center and is located on the fifth floor of the Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility.
