Professor of Organismic & Evolutionary Biology

Dept. of OEB, Dept. of Physics, FAS Center for Systems Biology

We use both theory and experiments to study evolutionary dynamics and population genetics, particularly in situations where natural selection is pervasive. Natural selection and other evolutionary forces lead to particular patterns of evolutionary...

Associate Professor

Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology

Associate Member of the Harvard Digestive Disease Center

The goal of the Devlin lab is to understand and control the chemistry of human-associated bacteria (i.e., the microbiome) in order to uncover how these bacterial guests affect the human host. We are not alone. The human body harbors more bacterial cells...
