The Murphy Lab @ William & Mary

 

We study evolution, evolutionary genetics, and yeast. We use environmental isolates and experimental evolution to ask questions related to: (1) the evolution of virulence, (2) the genetic architecture and evolution of adaptive biofilm traits, and (3) levels of selection.  Check out our database of yeast multicellular phenotypes, created by Debby Zhong.

We are located in Williamsburg, Virginia in the Integrated Science Center room 2081.
