Microbial   communities are fundamentally important to human health, environment and agriculture.   To realize their potential for various applications, a fundamental challenge   is to decipher the basic rules that govern microbial organization in space   and time. My lab aims to address the challenge using a bottom-up approach   that combines biophysical modeling with experimental synthetic biology.   Recently, we developed a computational platform that enables individual-based   simulation of microbial communities across multiple scales. Using the   platform, we investigated how the modes of cellular social interactions and   the spatial scale of interaction contribute to microbial assemblages, both of   which were also examined using experimental ecosystems. Using engineered   cellular interactions, we further demonstrated the utility of synthetic   consortia for applications in metabolic engineering. Our studies provide   insights into the organization of microbial communities, and illustrate the   potential of synthetic ecosystems for practical purposes.
