Molecular EvolutionResearch opportunities include the study of the process of evolution, with emphasis on genetic changes underlying morphological evolution in several model systems including plants, worms, insects, and fish. Other research is focused on the phylogenetic relationships among organisms using molecular tools. Researchers in this area have initiated strong working relationships with NYU's Department of Anthropology, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), and the NYC Aquarium. The investigators from these institutions have affiliated appointments in the NYU Biology Department. One of these alliances is the BRIDGES track, which provides a rare opportunity for students to study evolutionary mechanisms in a wide range of organisms. Regular Regional Molecular Evolution Meetings bring together molecular evolutionists from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to discuss their research and share ideas.
