Each of us is home to trillions of microbes, and the interactions between these microbes play key roles in shaping human health. The Xue lab at UC Irvine studies how microbes interact and evolve in complex communities like the human gut microbiome. We combine experimental and computational techniques to characterize ecological and evolutionary dynamics in the gut microbiome and to investigate how specific microbial interactions give rise to community-scale dynamics.

We are actively recruiting graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research assistants, and staff scientists. Join us!
