We are working on bacterial gut symbionts that live in bees, with the goal of understanding how they affect the health of their hosts. The work involves growing bacterial cultures, inoculating bees with bacteria, and…

Bacteria Living in Bees: How They Interact and How They Affect Their Hosts
Faculty
The Barrick lab studies evolution in action using experiments with bacteria, molecules, and digital organisms. We are interested in understanding how mutations that affect different cellular processes can promote and…
Dr. Chen studies genetic and epigenetic mechanisms for gene expression changes in plant polyploids and hybrids
Interests include South American primates, social behavior, reproductive strategies, molecular ecology, primate genomics, primate population genetics, animal movement, computer simulation of animal behavior, wildlife…
Current research in the Erdner lab focuses on the genetics of bloom-forming algae, particularly toxic dinoflagellates. Examples of ongoing projects include:
- population genetics of toxic dinoflagellates…
The research in Dr. Hofmann's laboratory seeks to understand the molecular and hormonal mechanisms that underlie social behavior and its evolution.
Current projects focus on two main areas: 1) Identifying genes…
Molecular genetics of Arabidopsis development
Professor Lloyd is interested in plant development and cell-fate determination. His lab works at the molecular genetic, biochemical, and whole plant levels to study…
Genomics and evolution of interactions between bacterial symbionts and their hosts. Main systems currently are sap-feeding insects and honey bees. We work with both the insects and the bacterial symbionts.
Our laboratory is broadly is interested in problems at the intersection of Computer Science, Genomics and Statistics. In particular we develop scalable and efficient methods to make sense of complex, large-scale…
