Increasing our understanding of the mechanisms of molecular change and developing a critical link between molecular and organismal evolution are key components of my research programs. Current research in my lab focuses on the application of next generation sequencing technologies to understanding the response of organisms to environmental change and patterns of global biodiversity.
