Microbial species are ubiquitous, existing not in isolation but within communities where they engage in dynamic interactions with other species, hosts, and the environment. These communities play a crucial role in shaping not only our health but also the well-being of animals, plants, the food we consume, and the broader environmental ecosystem.

At our laboratory, we embrace a comprehensive approach that spans classic microbiology, high-throughput genomics, single-cell methodologies, and computational analysis. Our mission is to untangle the intricate dynamics of interspecies interactions, unraveling the profound impact they have on the assembly, function, and evolution of microbial species—especially when faced with stress and environmental challenges.
