Vanni Bucci
UMass Chan Medical School
Worcester, Massachusetts
The Bucci Lab combines mathematical modeling, machine learning, and microbial engineering to predict and reshape microbiomes for better health.
Carlos Carmona-Fontaine
New York University
New York, New York
The Carmona-Fontaine Lab studies how metabolism and interactions between cells organize tissues and drive cancer progression.
Katharine Coyte
University of Manchester
Manchester, United Kingdom
The Coyte Lab investigates how microbial communities assemble, interact, and evolve, with a focus on the gut microbiome.
Maxime Deforet
CNRS / Sorbonne Université / Laboratoire Jean Perrin
Paris, France
Deforet’s group explores how bacterial growth, movement, and physical interactions shape the collective behavior of expanding colonies.
Ana Djukovic
Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe
Valencia, Spain
The Djukovic group investigates how gut microbes influence metabolism and immunity, focusing on tryptophan pathways in cancer and inflammatory disease.
Chen Liao
Dartmouth / Geisel School of Medicine
Hanover, New Hampshire
The Liao Lab combines experiments, clinical data, and computational models to understand host–microbe metabolism and design microbiome-based therapies.
Deepti Mathur
The Ohio State University
Columbus, Ohio
The Mathur Lab pairs mathematical models with experimental and clinical data to understand and predict cancer progression.
Jonas Schluter
NYU Grossman School of Medicine
New York, New York
The Schluter Lab combines clinical data, ecological theory, and experiments to understand microbiome–immune interactions and develop microbial therapies.
