Participating faculty come from all around Cornell — different departments, colleges, and a variety of graduate fields.
Below is a list of faculty interested in many aspects of evo-devo, ranging from evo to devo and anywhere in between.
​Also including links to their lab websites and graduate programs. 
Carrie Adler
Our lab uses planarians to study stem cell biology, gene regulation, and regeneration.
Chip Aquadro
The evolutionary and functional diversification of genes that regulate germ line stem cell maintenance and differentiation in Drosophila.
Leslie Babonis
We study the dynamic processes of embryogenesis and tissue morphogenesis to characterize the cellular and molecular events that drive the evolution of novel traits.
Nicholas Buchon
We study how intestinal stem cells respond to the gut luminal environment (microbiota, pathogens, nutrients, etc) by adjusting their function, thus altering the structure of the organ they renew.
Charles Danko
We study how genomes encode patterns of gene expression.
Margaret Frank
Genetics and development of plant graft formation.
Chun Han
We develop novel technologies in Drosophila to decipher mechanisms of dendrite morphogenesis and neurodegeneration.
Natasza Kurpios
Our lab uses classical chicken embryology and modern mouse genetics to understand morphogenesis.
Sylvia Lee
We use C. elegans to study the molecular basis of aging and how developmental pathways are reemployed to impact longevity.
Kelly Liu
Our lab uses C. elegans to study BMP signaling in development and homeostasis.
Bob Reed
We study the developmental basis of butterfly wing pattern evolution.
Adrienne Roeder
We study the mechanisms controlling the morphogenesis of cell and organ size and shape in Arabidopsis using molecular genetics, live imaging, and computational approaches.
Ben Sandkam
Our lab studies how differences in gene expression evolve that result in sexual dimorphism and alternative reproductive morphs.
John Schimenti
Our lab studies genetics and mechanisms of germ cell development and genome maintenance in mice.
Mariana Wolfner
Genetic, molecular, developmental, and evolutionary studies of seminal protein functions, and of mechanisms of the egg-to-embryo transition in animals.
