Research summary
AI-generated

William T. Scott works on computational modeling of microbial metabolism, building genome-scale models that simulate how microbes and microbial communities process nutrients and produce useful or harmful compounds. His work spans gut microbiome research, industrial fermentation (yeast, syngas-consuming bacteria), and tick-microbe interactions, often combining metabolic modeling with sequencing data to understand microbial community dynamics.
