    • About

    Evan received his PhD in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology from Boston University, where in addition to gaining expertise in the analysis of multi-omic data sets, he identified his passion for understanding the function and evolution of microbial systems. During his postdoc, Evan developed deep interests in the application of genomics to study healthcare associated infections, and his newly formed lab aims to continue this line of research which bridges basic and clinical realms.

    $10 million NIH-award establishes new U-M center to study genomics of infectious disease pathogens
    A new NIH award will establish the Michigan Infectious Disease Genomics (MIDGE) Center, the goal of which is to use whole genome sequencing and functional genomic assays to determine how genetic differences among strains or isolates affect the behavior, transmission, and drug resistance of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens.
