Welcome to New Postdoc Ben Leyland! Previously, Ben was a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). Ben received his PhD from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.

Our paper “Wiring between close nodes in molecular networks evolves more quickly than between distant nodes” has now been published as advance access in Molecular Biology and Evolution. We propose to use the evolution of drug-drug interaction scores as a proxy for the evolution of the topology of the underlying biological networks of a bacterial cell.

Lab member Alejandro Gil Gomez has been awarded the Stony Brook Foundation Board of Trustees Dissertation Completion Endowed Fellowship.

Joshua Rest has been awarded the 2024 Dean’s Award for Excellence in Service by a Graduate Program Director

Findings published in Current Biology set stage to better understand the �invisible� ocean ecosystem and its importance. Read the full press release.
