In the Bailey lab at Clarkson University in Potsdam NY, we explore a range of processes driving evolutionary dynamics, from ecological interactions to mutational biases, using a combination of microbial experimental evolution and mathematical/ statistical modeling approaches. Currently, our research has three main themes:
-
The effects of spatial structure and heterogeneity on the dynamics of evolution;
-
Using genomic patterns of parallel evolution to infer the drivers of evolution;
-
Eco-evolutionary dynamics of predator-prey/ host-parasite systems.
Dr. Susan Bailey is also co-director of the Mathematical Biology Team Science (MBioTS) REU at Clarkson University. For more information on this summer research program, please follow this link:
