The Farhat Lab
The Farhat lab is a translational lab that combines genomics and informatics to understand and better control drug resistant tuberculosis and other infections. We are particularly interested in bacterial genome wide association, prediction of phenotype from genotype and methodological development around this. We also apply theoretical evolutionary concepts to better understand genetic diversity and population dynamics of bacterial populations in the host.
