Andrew Moeller

Andrew Moeller is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on symbiosis, particularly host-microbe relationships in vertebrates. He holds a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences from the University of South Carolina (2010) and a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale University (2015).

Moeller’s research examines how symbiotic interactions drive evolution. His lab investigates coevolution between vertebrates and microbes, including studies on hominid-microbiota molecular mechanisms, gnotobiotic rodent models, comparative genomics of gut bacteria, and wild vertebrate microbiota transmission. His work bridges observational and experimental approaches in field and lab settings.

Awarded recognition by the Faculty of 1000 for his 2014 study on rapid human microbiome changes during evolution. He advises Ph.D. students in dissertation research (BIOEE 9990) and collaborates with institutions like Princeton University, where he maintains a lab contact email. His lab’s findings are published in journals such as *Science*, *Nature Communications*, and *Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences*.
