  • MICHAEL STEPHEN WERNER
    Assistant Professor, School Of Biological Sciences

    Research Summary: My lab is primarily interested in a simple yet poorly understood question: How does the environment affect phenotype? We use a suite of methods ranging from chromatin biochemistry to epigenomics to investigate the mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity, and how it facilitates evolutionary innovation. Our primary study system is the Pristionchus genus of nematodes, which exhibit predatory or bacterivorous morphs depending on the environment, and provide a powerful genetic and phylogenetic toolkit.
