Christopher Marx, PhD, Associate Professor of Organismic & Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University
Marx Lab

The Marx Lab at Harvard University investigates the mechanisms of microbe evolution under carefully controlled conditions in the lab. Dr. Marx and his colleagues have demonstrated how genetic modifications within one microbe species can influence modifications in a neighboring species. The Marx lab is providing a wealth of new information about a very complex process.
