Summary
Rockwell Anyoha is an evolutionary biologist based in Berkeley with a decade of experience developing multiomic assays, applying CRISPR tools, and integrating in-silico and wet-lab data to discover novel targets. Trained at Harvard (Engineering & Physical Biology, Neurobiology and Quantitative Phylogenetics) and Columbia (Physics), he bridges quantitative theory and hands-on molecular work. His career spans academic and industry labs—from longitudinal behavioral imaging in mice and comparative studies of Peromyscus to regulatory genomics at the Broad—culminating in roles focused on phenotype-to-genotype translation at Phenomic and Arcadia Science. He combines deep experimental skill (assay development, nucleoside uptake assays) with computational synthesis to reveal evolutionary and disease-relevant mechanisms. A lifelong naturalist, he brings an uncommon emphasis on animal behavior to molecular questions, often asking how comparative biology reframes functional genomics.
