About the research

A microbial community’s behavior depends on interactions between its members, not simply on which organisms are present.

Read the full research overview

The Momeni Lab studies how those interactions create community functions. It compares simulated communities, engineered systems with defined interactions, and relatively simple natural communities. Quantitative experiments and mathematical models provide complementary ways to identify the relationships responsible for collective behavior. This research examines principles that could help researchers influence microbial communities in settings such as infection control, waste processing, and biofuel production, while keeping the focus on understanding the underlying biology.
