Name: Dr. Pawel Michalak
Position: Professor for Cell Biology and Physiology
Research Description:
Research program in the Michalak laboratory focuses on comparative genomics and evolution. We employ an integrative approach with a variety of molecular and computational techniques to rigorous understanding of how genes produce biological diversity. Recent advances in genomic technologies and bioinformatics, including ‘next-gen’ sequencing of entire genomes and transcriptomes, provide a unique opportunity to investigate how morphological complexity elaborates from genomes through gene regulatory networks. I am particularly interested in genome responses to such dramatic extrinsic and intrinsic challenges as interspecies hybridization and speciation, genome duplications (poliploidization), genomic conflicts, and cancer.
