Britt Koskella
Associate Professor
Department of Integrative Biology
University of California, Berkeley
The future of human health and
sustainable agriculture rests on our
ability to view microbial evolution
as part of the solution rather than
the problem. The Koskella lab takes
on this challenge by combining
discovery-based science on plant
microbiomes with hypothesis-driven
experimentation. Our research
examines host-microbe and
microbe-microbe interactions by
first identifying patterns in nature
and then, in line with current
theory where available, generating
predictions to explicitly test in
the laboratory using a combination
of experimental evolution, microbial
ecology approaches, and molecular
biological techniques.
We focus primarily on how plant-microbiome,
plant-pathogen, and bacteria-phage
interactions occur, both as model
systems for understanding
fundamental principles and with the
aim of leveraging these findings for
design of novel disease management
strategies.
