Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohan Maddamsetti is an evolutionary systems biologist and Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Microbiology at Rutgers University who studies how mobile genetic elements drive the emergence and spread of traits like antibiotic resistance. He combines mathematical modeling, synthetic biology, laboratory evolution experiments, and large-scale genomics to reveal how gene duplication and horizontal transfer shape bacterial adaptation. Trained in computational biology (Brown) and experimental evolution (PhD with Rich Lenski at Michigan State), he bridged computational and experimental worlds during postdoctoral work at Harvard and Duke. At Duke he uncovered signatures of ongoing selection in duplicated resistance genes and mapped interspecies gene transfer networks. He has run an independent research group and taught both introductory and advanced computational genomics courses, bringing a blend of hands-on bench skills and quantitative theory to his lab. Less obvious: his work explicitly leverages selfish genetic elements as both subjects and tools to illuminate mechanisms of rapid evolutionary innovation.
