Our laboratory is interested in the neurogenetics and genomics of behavior in health and disease. We utilize a variety of techniques spanning from human molecular genetics and informatics to mouse behavioral neuroscience and neuroanatomy.

Susan Dutcher, PhD
Professor
The Dutcher Lab studies the assembly and function of basal bodies/centrioles and cilia using genetics, biochemistry, microscopy, and computational biology.

Justin Fay, PhD
Associate Professor
We are broadly interested in the genetic basis of evolutionary change and specifically interested in the role of changes in gene regulation.

Stephen Johnson, PhD
Professor

Heather Lawson, PhD, MA
Assistant Professor
We integrate whole-genome sequence data with phenotypic data to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic architecture of metabolic traits.
