Senior🎓
Top SchoolDave Angelini is an associate professor of genetics at Colby College with nine years of faculty experience and a PhD in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology. He studies developmental genetic systems that produce alternative phenotypes—particularly insect appendages—using an integrative toolkit spanning functional genetics, morphometrics, endocrinology, and genomics. His lab combines mechanistic experiments with comparative evolutionary approaches, translating detailed developmental insights into broader questions about trait diversification. He also directs the nationwide citizen science project Bugs In Our Backyard, which actively engages students and teachers in generating ecological data. Based in Waterville, Maine, he blends rigorous lab-based research with public-facing science education, making local biodiversity both a research resource and a teaching platform.
