Profiles in "Evolution" Expertise Area

  • 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 is the Robert A. Johnson Chair in Social Insect Biology. He studies the genetic, developmental and behavioral underpinnings of social insect colonies to understand how these complex systems evolve and function.
  • Cramer's research focuses on understanding how processes drive the distribution and persistence of marine organisms, particularly across multiple scales of time and space.
