Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Gaulke is an assistant professor and microbiology Ph.D. with 11 years of experience applying high-throughput computational and molecular methods to unravel host–microbe interactions in the gastrointestinal tract. His research focuses on how disturbances and environmental exposures alter microbial community resilience and how commensals resist perturbation, blending wet-lab techniques with bioinformatics tools like BWA, Samtools, DESeq, and Qiime. He has progressed from hands-on sequencing and small RNA work during his PhD to developing computational tools as a postdoc and faculty member to probe co-evolutionary signals and contaminant impacts on microbiomes. Based in Urbana, Illinois, he combines field and lab leadership experience with a track record of training teams and students, and a practical emphasis on translating ecological theory into experimental and computational approaches.
