Rohner Lab
Evolutionary Biology
We seek to understand how animals adapt to extreme environments, resulting in unique genetic adaptations that may shed light on human metabolic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
By unraveling the secrets underlying fundamental biological processes, we can find innovative approaches to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.
