HOWARD OCHMAN, Principal Investigator

Regents' Professor,

Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry
and
Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology

Joint Regents' Professor, Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology

My research attempts to elucidate the factors that influence the generation and maintenance of variation in bacterial genomes.


Chih-Horng Kuo
CHIH-HORNG KUO
Post-doctoral Scientist

My research focuses on using comparative approaches to study genome evolution in bacteria. Specifically, I am interested in the variation of gene content between closely related organisms and the evolution of non-coding regions.


RAHUL RAGHAVAN
Post-doctoral Scientist

I seek to better understand evolutionary processes that facilitate lifestyle shifts in bacteria. Currently I study genome and ncRNA evolution that occur when a bacterium moves from a free-living to a host-associated niche.
