The research in my laboratory investigates the functional importance of natural variation; specifically the variation in gene expression, the molecular mechanisms that affects the variation in expression and the physiological consequences of this variation. To better understand the biological importance of this variation, my research group integrates different levels of biological understanding: physiology, enzyme functions, DNA sequence variation and genomics. These analyses are strengthened by evolutionary analyses to distinguish random neutral variation from variation due to natural selection. It is this combination of approaches, evolutionary biology with physiological genomics, that is my laboratory’s strength.
