Edo Kussell
Professor of Biology and Physics
I develop biophysics approaches to study physiological, population, and evolutionary dynamics of microorganisms.
Spencer Hobson-Gutierrez
Biology PhD Student
I am studying the evolution and optimization of phenotypic diversification mechanisms using mathematical and computational techniques.
Takashi Nozoe
Postdoctoral Researcher
My work examines the lineage structure of populations using statistical physics theory and single cell experiments.
Dan Pollack
Biology PhD Student
I study phenotypic memory and stochastic switches in bacteria in fluctuating environments using synthetic biology, microfluidics, and single cell microscopy.
Asher Preska Steinberg
Simons Fellow of the Life Sciences Research Foundation
My work is focused on understanding how microbes have adapted to live in fluctuating, biopolymeric environments through the use of diversity-generating mechanisms such as stochastic switching and recombination.
Antun Skanata
Postdoctoral Researcher
I study the evolutionary dynamics of pathogen resistance mechanisms and phenotypic memory in bacteria using statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, and game theory.
Thomas Yao
Biology Master’s Student
I work on the emergence of antibiotic resistance using synthetic stochastic switches.
