About the research

How do microbial communities in water and agricultural systems influence the spread of antibiotic resistance?

Read the full research overview

The lab uses next-generation DNA sequencing and bioinformatics to track pathogens, resistance genes and functional bacterial groups. Research investigates antibiotic-resistance genes as environmental contaminants and examines the microbial ecology of drinking-water systems. Other directions include bioremediation and the environmental effects of nanotechnology. These approaches connect the composition and capabilities of microbial communities with engineering questions about water treatment, agricultural practices and environmental health.
