Dr. Louis Berrios

Louis joined the Peay lab in 2021 after completing his Ph.D. at The University of South Carolina with Dr. Bert Ely. His research primarily focuses on the factors that govern the spatial distributions of bacteria and fungi as a function of microbe-microbe and plant-microbe interactions. From genomes to phenomes, Louis fuses both top-down and bottom-up experimental approaches to determine the genetic architecture that undergirds plant microbiome assemblages across landscapes.
