Sterner Lab
Lead: Becket Sterner
The philosophy of Life Sciences, uncovering and sustaining the practical value of pluralistic understandings of nature.
Tsosie Lab
Lead: Krystal Tsosie
The Native BioData Consortium (NBDC) is the first 501(c)(3) nonprofit research institute led by Indigenous scientists and tribal members in the United States. As a biorepository (or “biobank”), we ensure that advances in genetics and health research benefit all Indigenous people.
Pigg Lab
Lead: Kathleen Pigg
Evolution, biogeography, and diversification of angiosperms and other plants through comparative analysis of exceptionally preserved Tertiary plant fossils and their modern relatives.
Taylor Lab
Lead: Jesse Taylor
Population genetics and evolutionary biology of organisms living in variable environments using a combination of mathematical modeling, field work and DNA sequence analysis.
Gile Lab
Lead: Gillian Gile
Protist diversity, evolution, and symbiosis; including termite hindgut protists, plastid evolution, and the Azolla-Nostoc symbiosis.
Cadillo Lab
Lead: Hinsby Cadillo–Quiroz
Ecology of carbon rich ecosystems, interactions of microbes as potential ecosystem drivers, and genomics and evolution of microbes and their key innovations.
Cartwright Lab
Lead: Reed Cartwright
Interface of genetics, statistics, and software development. Development of statistical models to estimate evolutionary process from genomic datasets; primary focus on mutations.
Wilson Lab
Lead: Melissa Wilson
Sex chromosome evolution, sex-biased processes, population genetics, and comparative genomics. Public science engagement and outreach.
