Welcome to the Gore Laboratory website!

We use microbial model systems to study
fundamental questions in biophysics,
systems biology and evolutionary dynamics.

The laboratory is composed of an
interdisciplanary group of physicists,
biologists, chemists, engineers, and others
interested in learning from each other
to effectively combine experiments,
theory and modeling.

We started September 1, 2009 in the MIT Physics Department and are now looking for members.  If you are interested please send me an email!
