Meet the lab

Current

Members of our group come from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, and bring scientific backgrounds spanning developmental genetics, translational research in cancer biology and disease mechanisms, evolutionary biology, genomics, neurobiology, and ethology. Individual projects range from tightly focused work within a single subfield to broadly interdisciplinary efforts, and lab members often pursue more than one at a time, depending on their interests and where the science leads. Everyone has their own projects, but everyone is also part of a community: collaboration is the norm and tends to arise on its own.

Alumni and Colleagues

Group members go on to a range of careers — faculty positions at R1 universities and liberal arts institutions, health professions, industry, research foundations, and government. Whatever the path, our support is long-term. And for those who start their own labs, we feel privileged when collaborations continue, now as colleagues in the field.
