Research interests

Microorganisms are the most abundant and the most diverse group of organisms on Earth. They are also the most poorly known. As such the microbiota represent the largest unexplored biological resource on Earth. Andrew's research interests focus on three distinct aspects of microbial diversity:

1. The role of gut microbial diversity in human health;

2. Exploring microbial diversity for new biological resources;

3. The underlying evolutionary origins of microbial diversity
