Proud to share our latest work showing that interactions between strains govern the eco-evo dynamics of microbial communities, led by Akshit Goyal Akshit Goyal, Leonora Bittleston Leonora Bittleston and Gabriel Leventhal Gabriel Leventhal ... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

.Akshit Goyal, Sergei Maslov et al. propose an ecology-based computational method to predict hundreds of new experimentally untested cross-feeding interactions in the human gut microbiome nature.com/articles/s4146…

1/4 Excited to share our new work! Coarse-grained descriptions of ecology clearly work (Alvaro Sanchez Lab), but the strains they group together can behave very differently indeed (Otto X. Cordero). How do we reconcile the paradox? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The network structure of microbial metabolism explains species coexistence within microbial communities. Read our latest #research on #microbialdiversity, published with Springer Nature in NatureEcoEvo! 🦠rdcu.be/cviHj With Jeff Gore, Akshit Goyal & hyunseok lee

Biological physics postdoc fellowships at The University of Chicago: physics.uchicago.edu/academics/post… Theory, experiment, new to biology - all welcome. Lots of amazing science but here is a non-quantifiable not easily reproduced: collaborative env. + vibrant postdoc community.


And here is another milestone, by the wonderful Xiaoyu Shan: Annotation-free discovery of functional groups in microbial communities biorxiv.org/content/10.110… – read thread to know why I think this is so important

📢Thrilled to share our new paper out today in Science Advances! Leveraging publicly available data of marine bacterial communities and theory we show that slower growing species are more abundant where and when seawater temperatures are higher. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

#AviLovesYourPaper v4.0 now out. This time feat. Akshit Goyal on a great new work from @gdchure Jonas Cremer authors.elsevier.com/a/1hFlE,L~yCn7…

Strong in Physics, mathematics, engineering...? Puzzled by the processes of living matter? "Physics of Life" is a special Tata Institute of Fundamental Research PhD program to explore these challenging questions living systems pose. pol.icts.res.in ICTS National Centre for Biological Sciences


Likewise - fun collaboration led by Akshit Goyal on closed ecosystems. When can a collection of locally greedy self-replicators nevertheless self-organize into an ecosystem to collectively harvest energy?


Out today with Josh Goldford and friends; more on this later.


New work online with Akshit Goyal, Woody, Dianne and Rob. We integrated redox and resource allocation views of microbial physiology — the merger turned out illuminating and predictive. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Preprint! If you had a soil sample from Mars, what would you look for as evidence of life? Many proposals focus on specific compounds, but extraterrestrial life need not resemble ours. And no known signature comes from self-replication alone.1/2 Akshit Goyal arxiv.org/abs/2403.18614


Excited to be moving HOME to NYC to head the Laboratory of Environmental Microbiology Rockefeller University in Jan. 2025. Pics surely representative of future lab activities.


Be in touch. Topics include fundamentals of microbial metabolism + physiology, understanding and modeling microbial roles in the C cycle, bioengineering sustainable futures, zealously advocating for congestion pricing already Governor Kathy Hochul.
