Top SchoolMarcelo Gehara is an evolutionary biologist and population geneticist with a PhD and over a decade of experience applying genomics and computational methods to biodiversity questions. As an Assistant Professor at Rutgers鈥揘ewark, he combines academic leadership with hands-on bioinformatics and R programming to study comparative genomics and evolutionary dynamics across amphibians and reptiles. His postdoctoral work and Gerstner scholarship at the American Museum of Natural History reflect a strong track record in large-scale genomic analyses and evolutionary modeling. Trained in Brazil and Germany, he bridges field-based zoology and quantitative genomics, translating complex datasets into evolutionary inference and conservation insights. Colleagues value his ability to move between deep theoretical population genetics and practical computational pipelines, often developing reproducible R-driven workflows for challenging comparative studies.
