Deciphering population-level response under spatial drug heterogeneity on microhabitat structures

Zhijian Hu, Kevin Wood

The paper develops a model to predict population responses to spatially heterogeneous drug treatments by analyzing growth, migration, and microhabitat structures.

Linking spatial drug heterogeneity to microbial growthdynamics in theory and experiment

Zhijian Hu, Yuzhen Wu, Tomas Freire, Erida Gjini, Kevin B. Wood

This study investigates how spatial drug heterogeneity affects microbial population dynamics in confined environments, showing that spatial arrangement significantly influences population outcomes.

Spatial drug asymmetry modulates phenotypic diversity-migration relationships under resistance evolution

Zhijian Hu, Yuzhen Wu, Kevin B. Wood

The paper investigates how spatial drug asymmetry affects phenotypic diversity and migration in bacterial populations under resistance evolution, finding that migration influences diversity according to the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis.
