Profiles in "Evolution" Expertise Area

  • Barley is an assistant professor in the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences and New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the ASU West campus.
  • Matthew Jones is a paleontologist interested in understanding the origins and early radiation of placental mammals. He studies the evolution, diversification, and biogeography of mammals during the early Cenozoic.
  • Suzuki’s research integrates evolutionary biology, microbiome science, and biomedical research to study the role of host-microbial interactions in animal biology.
  • Kelsi Watkins is a Ph.D. student investigating single-cell transcriptomic and gene regulatory changes in the macaque brain across age and social status.
  • Jiang's general research interests span from understanding the genetic basis of natural mutation rate and spectrum variation to their phenotypic and fitness consequences.
  • Dr. Phan uses next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics tools to focus on viral metagenomics, virus discovery and viral genomics for transmission and evolution.
  • Linksvayer studies the evolution and genetic basis of social complexity in social insects.
