Levi Yant


Summary

Project Leader at John Innes Centre (Department of Cell and Developmental Biology) and Group Leader at Harvard University (Organismic and Evolutionary Biology). I enjoyed a PhD in developmental genetics in Tübingen Germany, where I worked with Markus Schmid and Detlef Weigel at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology. After finishing my NIH NRSA postdoc at Harvard, I started a group working on understanding adaptation to both environmental and genomic forces.

The overall aim of our work is to determine how evolution finds solutions to difficult problems by leveraging innovative population genomic approaches.
