Bruce Levin

Bruce Levin holds the Samuel C. Dobbs Professorship in Biology at Emory University, where he researches population and evolutionary biology of bacteria and viruses. His work combines mathematical modeling with laboratory experiments to study microbial dynamics and develop therapeutic strategies.

Levin's research addresses fundamental evolutionary questions while tackling health challenges like antibiotic resistance and infection control. Current projects examine phage-antibiotic combinations, heteroresistance evolution, and within-host pathogen dynamics during infection treatment.

His publications reflect dual interests in theoretical ecology and applied microbiology, recently focusing on optimizing phage therapy protocols and understanding pharmacodynamic principles of antimicrobial treatments in complex biological systems.
