Some projects in the group include
- Understanding and engineering microbes that eat CO2 (e.g., Flamholz et al. PNAS 2022, elife 2020)
- Estimating environmental chemistry from DNA sequences (e.g., Flamholz et al. mSystems 2024)
- Collective CO2 production by microbial communities (e.g., Goyal et al. PNAS 2023)
- Fundamentals of microbial physiology and metabolism (e.g., Flamholz et al. PNAS 2025)
- Environmental analysis of human choices (e.g.diet) and proposed biotechnologies.
Skim a paper or two. You’ll see that we integrate experimental, computational, and theoretical tools to address questions that are mostly focused on microbial metabolism.
