Welcome to the Brown Lab!

We study the multi-scale dynamics of infectious disease.

Our goal is to improve the treatment and control of infectious diseases, through a multi-scale understanding of microbial interactions.

Our approach is highly interdisciplinary, combining theory and experiment, evolution, ecology and molecular microbiology in order to understand and control the multi-scale dynamics of bacteria pathogens.
