研究领域

My research focuses on the systems biology of marine microbial communities, particularly members like the ubiquitous SAR11 clade which take advantage of communal resources to streamline their genomes to maximize efficiency in oligotrophic environments. This streamlining has an impact on ecotypic specialisation, viral infectivity and defence and community connectedness. Ultimately, co-evolution of streamlined organisms and their communities underpins the efficacy of biogeochemical cycling. My research combines bioinformatic analysis of meta ‘omics and single-cell genomics with experimental validation of emergent hypotheses in cultured model organisms. I am a strong proponent of open science and founder of the
