We are broadly interested in understanding evolution as a creative force. Our lab primarily uses experiments with microorganisms and molecules to watch evolution in action. We also use the tools of synthetic biology and bioengineering to manipulate and study evolutionary processes.
Some areas of focus are: 
Evolving and engineering insect symbionts 
Genome dynamics in long-term evolution experiments 
Evolving and engineering naturally transformable bacteria 
Improving the reliability of synthetic biology
