My overarching research interest is to understand the evolutionary and functional aspects of parasitic interactions among aquatic microbes and more specifically with a multipartite perspective where more than two parties are involved in the interaction. We combine high throughput methods such as MetaHiC, single cell analyses based on semi-permeable cells, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics analyses of natural samples and model systems in culture to resolve the basis of these interactions.
