Our Members
Our team of four internationally recognized experts are investigating the mechanisms of organismal agency across levels of biological organization (gene networks, Moczek; cells and tissues, Jernvall; individuals, Sultan; social colonies, Gordon) and diverse taxa (mammals: Jernvall; insects: Gordon, Moczek; plants: Sultan).
A team of philosophers of science led by co-investigator Walsh, in collaboration with Moczek, Sultan, Jernvall and Gordon, will advance the development of a scientific theory of agency in living systems.

Moczek Lab
We are interested in the ecological, developmental, and genetic mechanisms, and the interactions between them, that enable and channel evolutionary innovation and diversification.
Sultan Lab
We study individual developmental plasticity in response to key environmental factors, using field-sourced genotypes of annual plants as an experimental system.
Gordon Lab
We examine how ant colonies work without central control using networks of simple interactions, and how these networks evolve in relation to changing environments.
Jernvall Lab
Our research focus is on the phenotype and factors affecting its evolution. For most projects, we use the mammalian dentition that offers a rich array of interrelated data on development, function, and evolutionary history.
