Richard Wolff has joined PriME this month as a Post-doctoral researcher in the Hwa lab at University of California, San Diego. Richard completed his PhD at UCLA, where he explored horizontal gene transfer and adaptive evolution in human-gut bacteria. In his current work, carried out in collaboration with the Kryazhimskiy Lab, he investigates how physiological variation within bacterial species constrains and directs their evolutionary dynamics.
We’re thrilled to have Richard in our community and look forward to the exciting insights his work will bring to PriME!
