Underneath the fascinating biology, evolution is governed by a stochastic dynamical process, which describes how mutations arise and spread through a population. Though the basic rules of this process are simple, it is often surprisingly difficult to predict how…

In each of our digestive tracts, trillions of microbes representing hundreds of different species colonize local environments, reproduce, and compete with one another. Little is known about the physical structure and temporal dynamics of gut microbial communities: how they grow, fluctuate, and respond to perturbations. To address this and…

Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is the primary repair pathway for double-strand breaks in human cells, yet we lack a detailed understanding of how broken DNA ends are brought together, enzymatically processed, and joined. To better understand these questions, we have developed single-molecule assays to visualize NHEJ in Xenopus egg extracts…

A central challenge in biology is to predict system behavior in time, given incomplete knowledge, strong interactions, and noise. We have pursued multiple approaches to building predictive dynamical descriptions of biological systems, making progress toward general principles. We have focused on three specific problems: 1) The number of global…
