Cordero Laboratory

Principal Investigator Otto Cordero

Project Website http://www.corderolab.org/


The Cordero Laboratory studies the ecology and evolution of natural microbial collectives. Interest is in understanding how social and ecological interactions at micro-scales impact the global productivity, stability and evolutionary dynamics of microbial ecosystems.

Current research foci are:
(*) Microbial community ecology at microscales and its implications for carbon cycling.
(*) Genome co-evolution in natural communities. Consequences of social and ecological interactions for genome evolution.
