  • Favela Lab

    Broadly, we are interested in how complex microbial communities (lovingly referred to as "Ecological Dark Matter") influence and are influenced by anthropogenic activities.​The goal of our work is to understand how we can use microbial interactions to improve human sustainability and limit ecocide
