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.
