Abstract: My lab uses induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to model neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative diseases. We have two main branches of the lab. The first is to understand how viral infection alters neuron and astrocyte differentiation and function. The second... Read More
Title: Trade-offs and Trade-ups in Bacteria-Phage Coevolution Abstract: Evolutionary trade-offs are thought to be a fundamental factor constraining adaptation in natural populations. Trade-offs have also been leveraged in the treatment of bacterial infections through selection by phage at the expense... Read More
