WELCOME

We are a new laboratory in the Department of Microbial Biotechnology at CNB-CSIC, in Madrid, Spain. We have just moved from the Microbial Sciences Institute and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University. Our work lies at the interface between systems biology and microbial community ecology and evolution. We seek to understand and ultimately predict how the composition of a community determines its function. We do so through a combination of theory and experiments, and by bringing ideas and methods from population genetics into functional ecology
