Institute of Ecology and Evolution

Patrick Phillips is the Director of the META Center Outreach activities. Research in his lab spans a wide range of biological questions, from molecular genetics to evolutionary ecology. The central thread of his work is the use of genetic, experimental and theoretical approaches to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. He uses the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and its relatives (particularly C. remanei) for empirical microbiome work.
