Otto X. Cordero is an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, specializing in Evolutionary Ecology, Microbiology, and Biocomplexity. His research explores how ecological processes shape microbial communities and their genetic exchange, emphasizing the role of interactions in community assembly and function. Cordero's work investigates the dynamics of microbial populations, including the impact of competition, dispersal, and cooperation on ecological differentiation and genomic diversity. His studies often focus on marine and human microbiomes, revealing how ecological forces influence microbial evolution and biogeochemical cycles. His research highlights the interplay between ecological and evolutionary mechanisms in shaping microbial ecosystems.
