Ecological Genomics

High-throughput sequencing methods allow characterising entire microbial communities. We are interested in the characterisation and prediction of microbial associations in healthy and diseased individuals, as well as host response to infection.

• Determinants of host species jumps

• Oral microbiomes of hunter-gatherer vs. farmer populations of the Philippines 

• Gut microbiome and immunity 

• Ecological and genomic determinants of Shigella replacement 

• Common frog host response to infection
