Former Lab Members

I study the genetics of dog domestication

I study the development and evolution of tendons in primates and other mammals

I'm interested in human metabolic diversity across populations, and how selective factors like diet, infectious disease, environment impacted humans in the past several thousand years of evolution. I also want to understand how important life stages, like...

I'm interested in developmental anatomy and pelvic girdle development in the context of human evolution

I am particularly interested in the genome and how it relates to morphology, particularly in humans and human ancestors.

I study the interplay between host ecology and viral epidemiological dynamics. I use a combination of field research, genetic methods, and long-term data analysis to investigate hypotheses pertaining to the transmission and evolution of RNA viruses within...

I am studying transcription factor specificity in the context of gene regulation, particularly as it relates to the function of the GDF5 gene in joint development. 

I am interested in the genetic and molecular mechanisms that underlie human development. Currently, I am working on two projects for my senior thesis, involving circadian rhythms and incremental growth line formation in teeth. In collaboration with Dr...

I am continuing to follow a fascination with genetics and evolution that my first class in genetics has kindled.  My favorite books also grapple with concepts in genetics, bioethics, and evolution (Chrichton’s NEXT and HG Wells’ The Time Machine).  For...

Hi I'm Rob. I'm a junior at Harvard College concentrating in HEB. When I'm not on my couch in vacant or pensive mood thinking about all things HEB I volunteer on Adams House HoCo and also work in the International Relations Council here at the College.  I...
