The mission of the University of British Columbia's Centre for
Microbial Diversity and Evolution (CMDE) is to advance our
understanding of living systems by supporting basic research into
fundamental questions about the diversity, interrelationships and
evolutionary histories of microbial life forms. The CMDE promotes
broad-scale comparative approaches that integrate exploratory and
hypothesis-driven research on bacteria, archaeans, eukaryotes and
viruses. The training of research personnel in the CMDE must reflect
high standards of excellence and will incorporate one or several of the
following themes: molecular evolution, comparative genomics,
phylogenetics, evolutionary morphology, systematics, metagenomics and
ecosystem function.
