One of the papers from my PhD is out now in Current Biology
with my supervisor
Carolin Wendling 
and in collaboration with
Claudia Igler.

What selects against prophages ? What allows them to stay?

Tenure-track job in ✨theoretical✨ biology at Emory! apply.interfolio.com/131940 Very much including population biology. Please forward widely. And don’t hesitate to reach out with questions!

Mathematical modelling can be a very powerful tool to predict antimicrobial resistance dynamics. Check out our new review, led by the fantastic Christopher Witzany

Exciting news!

Our review with J. Rolff, R. Regoes and Claudia Igler is out in Microbiology Society

Ever wondered how to predict antimicrobial resistance evolution under changing selection pressures?

We’re looking for a postdoc in microbial ecology/evolution.
The lab is interested in cooperation / communication / conflict,
virulence, drug resistance and community / biofilm dynamics. We use a
mix of expmt, theory and bio-inf approaches. Please re-tweet, DM if interested.

New Preprint from the lab, lead by Zachary M. Bailey in collab with Claudia Igler: what maintains prophages in bacterial genomes? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
