Matthew B. Sullivan

Matthew B. Sullivan's research centers on viruses that infect bacteria and other microbes (bacteriophages) and their roles in environmental microbial communities, including oceans and groundwater. His work combines genomics, bioinformatics tools, and large-scale environmental sequencing datasets (such as the Tara Oceans expedition) to study viral diversity, microbial ecology, and how viruses shape ecosystems. Some publications listed appear unrelated to this core focus, likely reflecting co-authorship on other collaborative projects.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2022 followed by a decline to a steadier but lower rate in recent years.
