We study the interactions of hosts and their microbial communities through a combination of molecular, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives. Particular lab interests include host co-infection with multiple parasites, immune system evolution, and immune system function in wild populations. We use a combination of field work, wet lab work, and mathematical and computational modeling.
