Professional Summary
In our lab, we seek to understand how bacteria potentiate environmental fluxes into the requisite changes in physiology required for adaptation & survival. We primarily utilize the model organism Bacillus subtilis, a bacterium with superb genetic tools that can differentiate into multiple cell types. Please see laboratory webpage for more information.
