Michael attended the 2026 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Microbiome Editing in Pomona, CA, USA. This was a new conference on an emerging topic at the interface of microbial ecology, systems microbiology, and synthetic biology. Michael presented the lab's work with a poster on “Effect of intercellular metabolic interactions on the distribution of fitness effects in microbial communities” (joint work with current lab members Duhita and Atharv and former members Tomas, Justus, Dhru, and Anastasia).
