Olivier Zablocki

Olivier Zablocki studies viruses that infect bacteria and archaea (called phages or bacteriophages) in environmental settings such as deserts, hot springs, and soils, using genomic and metagenomic tools to understand how these viruses shape microbial communities and nutrient cycling. This work contributes to the broader field of environmental microbiology by examining how viral diversity relates to ecosystem processes like carbon cycling. Some recent work also addresses inclusivity practices within microbiology conferences.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade with a peak around 2019 and 2022, but has generally remained steady at a modest pace, averaging about 3-4 papers per year over the last five years.
