| Research Description: |
Research in the Browne Lab is focused on investigating patterns of change underlying organismal diversity. We employ a multidisciplinary experimental approach to explore the relationships between genotype and phenotype from both developmental and evolutionary perspectives. Developmental studies in the lab use three species as models; the amphipod crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis, the anthozoan cnidarian Nematostella vectensis, and the lobate ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. Evolutionary investigations include work on a range of species affiliated with these three taxa. |
