About Raman Akinyanju Lawal, Ph.D.

Genetic diversity is critical for the survival of any species. It is also central to the understanding of why one population, under similar environmental challenges, survives over another. I am primarily focused on determining the underlying evolutionary mechanisms shaping the observed genetic diversity found in the wild house mice. The wild house mice are invasive species with a long history of adaptation to new and the most extreme habitat. Unraveling the mystery of such adaptation is important for biomedical discoveries.
