Edward DeLong

Edward DeLong is a professor in the division of biological engineering and department of civil and environmental engineering at MIT and an associate member at the Broad Institute. His group works to develop the field of microbial community genomics and metagenomics. Part of this activity involves defining and mapping the intersections of gene, organism and environmental distributions in natural microbial habitats. Another aspect of this research aims to use microbial community genomic data to define higher order biological interactions, including metabolic interdependencies, host-parasite and symbiotic interactions, and resiliency in microbial community structure and function.
