Patrick Phillips is an academic expert in ecology and evolution, the biology of aging, molecular biology, and the genetics of complex traits. He is provost, senior vice president, a professor of biology, a member of the Institute of Ecology and Evolution, a member of the NIH Center for excellence in systems biology, and META. He served as the acting executive director of the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact at the University of Oregon from 2016-2018. Patrick has helped to pioneer our understanding of how complex genetic interactions shape the way that organisms develop, behave and evolve. He is now applying these approaches toward discovering how to increase people's healthspans and decrease the impacts of environmental stress over the lifetime of an individual.
