The Gore Lab uses experimental microbial populations to study fundamental questions in evolutionary systems biology and quantitative ecology.

The laboratory is composed of an interdisciplanary group of scientists interested in learning from each  other to effectively combine experiments, theory and modeling.

Upcoming Talks

August 8 - 11, 2012: Several members of the lab plan to submit abstracts to the
