Upham is an eco-evolutionary biologist with core interests in how species ecologies have diversified through time and across the tree of life. He studies the phylogenetic ecology of wild mammals, especially desert rodents.

McCutcheon studies endosymbioses, or relationships where one cell lives inside the other. He and his group focus on bacterial infections that benefit—rather than harm—their hosts.

Zhu is a computational biologist studying microbiome and multi-omic data analysis methods, evolution of microorganisms, and microbial impact on human health.

Chen's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of DNA break repair, homologous recombination, genome organization and evolution.

Kim’s research focuses on the effect of diet-gene interactions on the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Krystal Tsosie (Diné/Navajo Nation), PhD, MPH, MA is an Indigenous geneticist-bioethicist at Arizona State University. Research: ethical engagement with Indigenous communities in precision health and genomic medicine.

The Barthel lab examines cancer genome evolution in model systems and patient tumors. Currently seeking a computationally inclined graduate student to work on projects in cancer genome assembly and long-read sequencing.

Nsa Dada is a vector biologist and microbial ecologist interested in how mosquito-microbe interactions shape mosquito biology and evolutionary responses to changes in their habitats.
