Experimental Evolution
Richard Lenski
Richard Lenski’s research focuses on experimental evolution and the ecological processes and genetic mechanisms that cause evolutionary change. He also is a co-founder of MSU’s Digital Evolution Lab and a John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor.
His research itself has undergone a fascinating evolution. Lenski’s lab has gained considerable recognition for watching evolution as it happens in the context of experiments performed under controlled conditions. E. coli was the first mechanism to be followed by the revolutionary development of artificial life – a computer program that allows digital organisms to test generalizations about how life has evolved.
