Our Philosphy
Equally important to what we study is how we do it
We are committed to the principles of open science, interdisciplinary collaboration, and fostering a lab culture that is diverse, inclusive, and supportive. It is important to conduct rigorous, ethical, and responsible research and we believe that a positive lab environment is essential to that goal. We support each other, respect one another, and create space to grow together.
We care deeply about training and mentorship
We want early-career researchers from undergraduate students to post-doctoral researchers to feel supported, challenged, and excited about the path they’re on.
Ultimately, our lab is a place where big ideas are built together through creativity, respectful collaboration, and a shared commitment to discovery.
Our research is driven by a genuine passion for science
We believe that great work emerges from a foundation of curiosity, collaboration, creativity, and fun.
Our lab has a broad approach to genetics and we are interested in all facets of the field. This includes statistical methods, large-scale data analysis, gene–environment interactions, machine learning, cross-species studies, genetics education, and science communication. We are motivated by questions that deepen our understanding of how genes and environments can interact in ways that may shape human lives.
