Evolutionary Biology
Research focused on evolutionary genetics
The Evolutionary Biology program runs a graduate research program in evolutionary genetics and we are also responsible for teaching undergraduate courses in evolutionary genetics, evolutionary processes, basics of genetics and molecular evolution. Our research is predominantly run by independent research groups, with expertise in evolutionary genetics and genomics, molecular evolution, molecular ecology, quantitative- and population genetics.
