Welcome to the Plankton Ecology Lab. Our research focuses on marine microbial ecology in the context of ocean biogeochemical cycles. We study how microbes interact with one another and their environment, the chemical reactions that mediate such interactions, and the resulting impact on ecosystem scale carbon cycling. We are particularly interested in how marine viruses manipulate host cellular metabolism and consequent changes in microbial interactions and ecosystem function.
