Profiles in "Genetics" Expertise Area

  • Blevins researches ancient disease evolution and epidemiology by analyzing human skeletal remains in conjunction with ancient pathogen DNA.
  • Winingear researches under Anne Stone, PhD in the Laboratory of Molecular Anthropology. Her primary research interests include human genetics, ancient DNA, and pathogen evolution.
  • Varsani is a molecular virologist who works across ecosystems from plants to animals and from the tropics to polar regions.
  • Prof. Jensen is a population geneticist who develops theory and statistical methodology for describing and quantifying evolutionary processes in both natural and experimental populations.
  • The Harris lab uses genetic, molecular and imaging techniques to explore the genetics that underlie regeneration, and how we can improve the ability to repair and re-grow tissues after they're damaged.
  • Siford studies the interaction between evolution and culture, working to understand human uniqueness using genetics. She is investigating bonobo mutation rates and human and non human primate pigmentation evolution.
