Profiles in "Evolutionary and Population Genetics" Expertise Area

  • Geiler-Samerotte is an assistant professor in the Center for Mechanisms of Evolution and School of Life Sciences. Her lab investigates how basic features of cells influence the way those cells can evolve.
  • 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.
  • Suzuki’s research integrates evolutionary biology, microbiome science, and biomedical research to study the role of host-microbial interactions in animal biology.
  • Jiang's general research interests span from understanding the genetic basis of natural mutation rate and spectrum variation to their phenotypic and fitness consequences.
  • 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.
