Research

His lab works on problems in systems biology, metabolic network analysis, infectious disease, toxicology, heart disease, and cancer, developing computational approaches for integrating high-throughput data into predictive computational models. He manages a lab with both experimental and computational activities and...Read more

Jeff Tabor is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Rice. He genetically engineers bacteria for applications in medicine, biotechnology, and fundamental science among others. Jeff earned his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology with Andy Ellington at the University of Texas at Austin in 2006. As a Ph.D. student, he worked on a team that developed the first bacterial optogenetic tool (Cph1-EnvZ) and invented bacterial photography. Jeff went on to become an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow with Chris Voigt at UCSF. There, he engineered a bacterial edge detector, developed the first green-light...Read more

Jeff Gore is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He leads the Ecological Systems Biology Group, which uses laboratory microcosms to explore the ecological dynamics of interacting populations. Of particular interest are cooperatively growing populations, which can collapse suddenly in deteriorating environments and can also be susceptible to the emergence of “cheater” strategies.Read more
