Investing in Future Leaders: Evolutionary Genomics Research Program

By investing in this fund, you're funding critical scientific inquiry and also nurturing the next generation of brilliant minds, providing undergraduates and graduate students with invaluable hands-on experience in marine and evolutionary genomics that shapes their future careers. The funds raised today will support all aspects of training, including summer internships and opportunities for students to attend conferences and present their own research to experts in the field. The Kelley Lab at UCSC focuses on evolutionary and functional genomics, exploring how populations adapt to extreme environments and leveraging natural systems to gain insights into basic biological processes with implications for human health.
