Faculty

Akamatsu, Matthew akamatsm@uw.edu matsulab.com @matsulab.com Assistant Professor New grads: Yes ✓ We combine fluorescence microscopy of genome-edited stem cells with computational modeling to identify principles by which cytoskeletal protein complexes self-assemble and produce force in order to reshape cellular membranes.	Brunton, Bing W. bbrunton@uw.edu website Professor New grads: Yes ✓ Developing data-driven dynamic models of brain and natural behavior	Cabernard, Clemens ccabern@uw.edu Cabernard lab website Professor New grads: Yes ✓ My lab is investigating mechanisms to establish cellular and subcellular asymmetry, and its contribution to cell diversity and tissue morphogenesis
Di Stilio, Verónica distilio@u.washington.edu Lab website Professor New grads: Yes ✓ Plant evolution and development (evo-devo). The genetic basis of plant innovations; functional evolution of key transcription factors; phylogenetic comparative methods. Multiple systems (fern, gymnosperm, angiosperm)	Halmo, Stephanie halmo@uw.edu Halmo Lab Website Assistant Professor New grads: Yes ✓	Laursen, Willem wlaursen@uw.edu Laursen Lab Website Assistant Professor New grads: Yes ✓ We study the sensory physiology and behavior of mosquitoes and other pest insects and develop genetic tools for these species.
Leaché, Adam leache@uw.edu Lab website Professor New grads: Yes ✓ Evolution and systematics of reptiles and amphibians, with a focus on phylogenetics, phylogeography, and species delimitation, mostly in lizards.	Paredez, Alexander aparedez@uw.edu Paredez Lab Website Professor New grads: Yes ✓ We study the cell and developmental biology of the divergent protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia to identify new therapeutic opportunities.	Rasmussen, Jeff rasmuss@uw.edu Rasmussen Lab Associate Professor New grads: Yes ✓ Molecular and cellular regulation of zebrafish organ development and repair
Rico-Guevara, Alejandro colibri@uw.edu Personal website Associate Professor New grads: Yes ✓ I use nectar-feeding animals to bridge the gap between our knowledge of ecological and coevolutionary patterns and their underlying mechanisms.	Sridhar, Vivek Hari behavior@uw.edu Sridhar Lab Website Assistant Professor New grads: Yes ✓	Steinbrenner, Adam astein10@uw.edu Steinbrenner Lab Webpage Google Scholar Associate Professor New grads: Yes ✓ Function and evolution of the plant immune system; receptor complexes to monitor extracellular stimuli; comparative genomics of plant receptor repertoires
Summers, Adam fishguy@uw.edu Professor New grads: Yes ✓	Swann, Abigail L S aswann@uw.edu Ecoclimate Lab Website Professor New grads: Yes ✓ Abigail Swann is an atmospheric scientist and ecologist who is interested in the transitions, thresholds, and feedbacks of the coupled ecosystem-climate system, or ecoclimate. More specifically, she works to understand when, where, and how plants influence the climate across a range of spatial and temporal scales.	Theriot, Julie jtheriot@uw.edu The Theriot Lab Professor New grads: Yes ✓
Tribble, Carrie tribblec@uw.edu Website Bluesky Assistant Professor New grads: Yes ✓	Wilson Mantilla, Greg gpwilson@u.washington.edu Wilson Mantilla Lab Professor New grads: Yes ✓ Understanding early mammal evolution and ecology in the context of earth history events through fieldwork, systematics, and functional analysis.
