My research interests are at the intersection of microbial physiology and evolution, and span from experimental and computational approaches. On one hand, we use experimental evolution as a tool to uncover novel genes and functions. On the other, we apply systems-level models of metabolism to try to predict genetic interactions, optimal phenotypes, and evolutionary outcomes of evolving populations.

Chris Marx starts as an Associate Professor in Biological Sciences in January of 2014. After double majoring in Biology and Environmental Engineering at MIT and doing undergraduate research with Penny Chisholm, he earned his doctorate in Microbiology at the University of Washington with Mary Lidstrom. His thesis work explored the physiological challenges of the unusual methanol-utilizing metabolism of Methylobacterium. After becoming interested in evolutionary questions, he chose to pursue his NSF Microbial Biology Postdoctoral Fellowship at Michigan State University with Rich Lenski. Chris started his own group at Harvard University in 2005 in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. Although the systems are var
