Miles Whedbee
LAB TECHNICIAN Miles Whedbee is interested in gene regulatory evolution, particularly in the context of animal adaptation to extreme environments. His previous work focused on the evolution of transcriptome plasticity, primarily through small RNA (microRNA) mediated regulation, and chemical modifications (adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing) in the transcriptome. Miles earned his PhD from Colorado State University and MS from San Diego State University. |
Vinay Sagar
POSTDOC Vinay is an evolutionary biologist interested in the evolution of phenotypes, their genetic mechanisms, and micro-evolutionary drivers. In the past, Vinay has worked with natural and captive populations of tigers to understand evolutionary forces driving their rare phenotypes using population genomics tools. In the Mack lab, he studies gene regulatory variation associated with adaptation to environmental change in house mice, by integrating molecular, population genomic, and computational approaches. |
Joe Ward
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHER Joe Ward is a senior at the University of Kansas studying Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. He is interested in studying organismal plasticity as it relates to adaptation and evolution within species, and he is an active member within the Marching Jayhawks, where he plays sousaphone. |
