About the labWe are interested in the ecology and evolution of host-microbial interactions and understanding the role of microbiomes in human health.
The Suzuki lab combines field studies and laboratory experiments to study host-microbial coevolution, ranging from genes to organismal biology to macro-evolutionary patterns. We use tools from population genetics, genomics, and microbial ecology in mammalian systems including wild rodents and humans.
