Welcome!

The Jones Lab studies the assembly and spatial structure of microbiomes. These microscopic ecosystems have outsized impacts! Our research is motivated by the prospect of improving microbiome-based medical therapies like fecal microbiota transplantation in humans. We image the fruit fly gut microbiome with fluorescence microscopy in our wet lab, and also work with microbiome datasets collected by experimentalist collaborators that study fruit flies, duckweed, and activated sludge bioreactors.

Dr. Eric Jones is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Energy Science at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) and is affiliated with the UCCS BioFrontiers Center.
