The Lewis Lab

The Lewis Adaptation and Ecological Change Lab

Welcome to the Lewis Lab website. We are located in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina. We are a passionate and collaborative group of biologists who operate at the intersection of ecology and evolution. Generally, we are interested in adaptive evolution, host-parasite interactions, disease ecology, and the persistence of pathogens in the environment. We use a combination of laboratory experimental evolution with microbes (bacteriophages, bacteria, and C. elegans) and field work to answer these fundamental questions.

I am currently accepting graduate students and postdocs, and I encourage interested students and scientists to contact me directly. I am also more than willing to work on external fellowships to secure funding.
