Juliann E Horvath Roth, Adjunct Assistant Professor

Areas of Interest:
Primate Biology
Primate evolution
Primate phylogeny
Gene Expression
Primate Comparative Genomics
Genetics

Research Summary:
As the Research Director of the newly formed Primate Genomics Initiative, I am interested in combining primate genomics with research in other disciplines. I am currently involved in a collaborative project exploring the genetic basis for the evolution of human diet. I am also collaborating on a project to create a primate SNP resource.
