Research Interests: Professor Sullivans research aims to quantitatively explore the roles of microbial viruses in the oceans (globally), soils, and humans. As a Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Investigator, he has helped lay the foundation for modern viral ecology through establishing quantitative viral metagenomic sample-to-sequence pipeline and community-available informatics platforms to analyze such data, expanding our understanding of the global virosphere, and developing new approaches to link and explore virus-host interactions. He co-founded the UA Ecosystem Genomics Institute, and serves as co-Director of OSU's Microbial Communities Program.
