Our research explores how microorganisms, particularly bacteria, adapt to hosts, and how their relationships evolve over time. The overall goal of our research is to better understand the long- and short-term evolution of host adaptation, and to identify strategies and critical genetic innovations that allow free-living bacteria to adapt to, and then profit from, or live in symbiosis with, eukaryotic hosts.
