    Research Interests

    Lance Price is a Professor at the George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health in Washington DC. He is also the founding director of the Antibiotic Resistance Action Center. Price works at the interface between science and policy to address the growing crisis of antibiotic resistance. In the laboratory, Price uses cutting-edge molecular approaches to trace the origins of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and develop strategies to block their transmission. In the policy arena, Price works with non-governmental organizations and policymakers to develop science-based policies to curb antibiotic abuse in food-animal production. Price’s works has been covered in media outlets around the world. Price has Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from the Biology Department at Northern Arizona University and a PhD from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

    A trio of illustrated panels depicts the soil microbial communities in three treatments of a long-term warming experiment north of Flagstaff, Arizona. The panels are labeled in gray text, left to right: control, short-term warming, long-term warming. The control treatment, far left, depicts bacteria, protists, and other microorganisms identified by sequencing the soil’s metagenome in yellow, orange, green, and blue, along with chains of available nutrients. Soil depicted in the center panel, which has undergone short-term warming, shows an increased abundance and diversity of microbes, some of which are growing, incorporating nutrients, and respiring carbon dioxide. The soil that has undergone long-term warming, imagined in the panel on the right, shows fewer microbial species and competitive relationships that are developing for control of the scarcer nutrients.
