GenomeWeb’s 8th annual list of top Young Investigators included Joanna Kelley, an assistant professor of biology in the WSU School of Biological Sciences. As a mathematics and biology undergraduate, Kelley focused her Ph.D. work on genetic adaptation. In her lab at Washington State University, research focuses on genetic changes as populations diverge and adapt to the (sometimes extreme) environments they encounter. Among other projects, her lab is comparing populations of fish that have adapted to live in hydrogen sulfide-rich waters and studying the genome of an Antarctic fly.
