Senior🎓
Top SchoolMahul Chakraborty is an evolutionary biologist and Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University with 11 years of research experience probing how new molecular functions arise and the evolutionary forces that shape them. He combines genomic-scale analyses with focused single-gene and mutation studies, integrating functional experiments and computational approaches to connect genetic variation to phenotypic consequence. During an extended postdoc at UC Irvine he built reference-quality genomes from long-read data and mapped population-scale structural variants, especially gene duplications, bringing practical expertise in PacBio and Oxford Nanopore workflows. His work bridges classic evolutionary questions and modern genomics, offering both conceptual insights and hands-on methods development that enable discovery of novel genetic functions.
