Cox Science Center, 166 Monday, April 22, 2013, 12:20 – 1:20pm William Browne, assistant professor in the Department of Biology, will present "Insights from the Genome of an Ancient Metazoan Lineage: The Ctenophora" on Monday, April 22from 12:20 to1:20 p.m. atthe Cox Science Center, Room 166. Browne's labinvestigatespatterns of change underlying organismal diversity, employinga wide range of experimental approaches to explore the relationships between genotype and phenotype from both developmental and evolutionary perspectives. Current work in the lab primarily usethe lobate ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi and the amphipod crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis as models. Evolutionary investigations include work on a range of species affiliated with these taxa. For more information about this event, please contact William Browne at wbrowne@bio.miami.edu.
