Weill Institute faculty member, Tobias Dörr, is part of the Microbiology Department in CALS.

Microorganisms drive the fundamental processes on which all life on Earth depends.  We are born into a world dominated by microorganisms.  As a consequence, we have innumerable intimate microbial associations; many enhance our lives, some are essential to our very existence, while others present us with potentially lethal challenges.  Research on all aspects of microbial biology can provide a deeper understanding of basic cellular and evolutionary processes, foster sustainable and practical approaches to maintain healthy ecosystems, and inform better practices to promote plant, animal and human health.
