    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe integrate computational genome mining with high-throughput experimental approaches and structural biology to harness the rich diversity of genes from microbes, with the goal of developing new antibiotic strategies and molecular biotechnology. A major area of current interest is uncovering novel molecular functions involved in anti-phage defense and bacteria–phage interactions, which are a major driver of molecular innovation in nature.
