Microbial community ecology and evolution.
The Friedman Lab studies how microbial communities form, function, and evolve. We focus on relating the genomes of individual microbes to the properties of the multispecies communities they form, and the evolution of individuals within such complex communities. To do so, we combine theoretical modeling and simulations, observations of natural communities, and laboratory experiments in synthetic microbial communities.
