The Holford lab studies venoms and venomous animals as agents of molecular change and medicinal innovations. Specifically, I am interested in how venoms direct the evolution of organisms and how they can improve human lives...

All animals begin life as totipotent zygotes, single cells that have the capacity to produce all the tissues of the adult animal. This totipotency becomes restricted over time, with embryonic cells becoming...

Research Interests
Biological - Our interests in biology are recent, and as a consequence somewhat desultory. A basic question is to understand "how things work" which leads naturally to physiology. We believe that a...

Ecological dynamics of terrestrial plant communities and ecosystems; biosphere-atmosphere interactions; mechanistic models of animal movement.

The goals of the Sabeti lab are to study the effect of natural selection on the human genome and the genomes of other organisms and uncover the traits that have emerged to shape these species, and to understand mechanisms...

Because I am theorist, my research is wide and varied. I work on everything from maternal-fetal conflict in human pregnancy to the evolution of plant life cycles. I have a particular interest in genetic conflicts within...

My laboratory focuses on the interface between evolutionary biology and genomics. The main goal is to understand the processes by which organisms evolve, integrated systems change through time, and new species come into being...

My primary research focuses on the evolution and biogeography of invertebrate animals and in the use of museum specimens for genomic research. In the lab we use genomic and morphological data from living and extinct animals...

Individual animals with identical genomes, reared identically, nevertheless exhibit behavioral differences. This underpins our sense of individuality. Where these inter-individual differences arise in the causal cascade...
Faculty Support: Melinda Peterson
Natural selection and other evolutionary forces leave characteristic signatures in the genetic variation within populations. My group uses a combination of theoretical and experimental approaches to study how this genetic...
