The Sudmant Lab @ UC Berkeley
the sudmant lab
the evolution and diversity of aging, genome structure, and mutation

The objective of our research is to understand aging and genome structure in the context of evolution, adaptation, and cellular diversity. Our lab philosophy is firmly based on the premise that science should be fun, inclusive, collaborative, and open.

The Sudmant Lab at UC Berkeley uses genomics, computational, statistical, and experimental methods to interrogate genetic and molecular phenotypic diversity at both the organismal and cellular level. We study the evolution, causes, and consequences of aging as well as the evolution of genome structure and cellular diversity.


We are recruiting! more information about joining the lab...
