COMPETITION BETWEEN BENEFICIAL AND PATHOGENIC MICROBES FOR DIETARY NUTRIENTS
Identifying synbiotic (prebiotic plus probiotic) strategies for reducing gut pathogen load and understanding the microbial genes that determine the outcome of interspecies competitions

SPATIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE GUT ECOSYSTEM
Investigating genes that control bacterial adhesion to dietary substrata and their contributions to the spatial structure of gut communities

HOST CONTROL OF MICROBE-MICROBE INTERACTIONS
Discovering mechanisms by which the host immune system selects for advantageous relationships between bacterial species
