Funded Activity Summary

Microbial natural history and molecular evolution. This project aims to develop mathematical and computational models of microbial evolution that capture dynamics at both within-host and between-host scales, combined with processes of mutation. Integration of these elements with computational statistical methods will produce a framework that will enable inference from genome sequencing data. The mathematical models will be applied to bacterial genomic data to investigate how natural selection acts on experimental and natural populations of microorganisms. The mathematical models and statistical approaches developed here are intended to be applicable to infectious disease of both humans and domesticated animals, and could influence public health policies.
