Award-Winning Scholars
Our scholars are decorated with many awards. Here is a partial list:
The Frumkin Lab investigates fundamental questions about molecular innovation in nature, exploring how new genes emerge, integrate into complex biological systems, and develop novel functions.
By combining advanced methods in molecular, synthetic, and computational biology, the lab works to uncover one of evolution's central mysteries - the birth of new genes.
Our research spans diverse microbiological systems from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, with a particular focus on the evolutionary arms race between bacteria and viruses as a driving force of biological innovation.
