👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTanya Lama is an Assistant Professor of Genomics at Smith College with eight years of interdisciplinary research experience applying integrative multi-omic and comparative genomics approaches to questions in aging, longevity, and conservation. Her NSF- and NIH-funded postdoctoral work on bats revealed genomic pathways underlying exceptional lifespans, and she brings that functional comparative perspective to her lab’s evolution-focused studies. Trained across conservation biology and bioinformatics at UMass Amherst, Stony Brook, and the Broad Institute, she blends field-based ecological insight with computational genomics. Based in Northampton, MA, Tanya has a track record of translating wildlife and climate-change research into actionable science and outreach, reflecting a rare mix of public-facing communication and rigorous computational analysis.
