Bio/Research
I am interested in the genetic and physiological mechanisms that contribute to diversity within species, i.e., intraspecific variation. Much of my recent work has examined quantitative trait loci (QTL), i.e., regions of the genome that contribute to continuous variation rather than major mutations that cause serious abnormalities. While I have focused primarily on growth in mice, I also work with humans, fish and fungi. Prior to moving into the field of genetics, I studied ecological physiology and variation in reproductive effort in birds. If you are interested in joining my lab, please see my information for prospective students which describes potential projects.
