Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWynn Meyer is an evolutionary genomicist and assistant professor with a decade of experience combining laboratory work and computational analysis to study how mammals adapt to environmental change. He runs a research lab at Lehigh University, teaches courses in Personal Genomics and Biostatistics, and brings hands-on expertise in population genetics, comparative genomics, and signal-processing techniques applied to non-model systems. His background spans academia and policy, including an AAAS fellowship at the NIH supporting data infrastructure and training, giving him a practical perspective on data management and science policy. Comfortable moving between wet lab, high-throughput sequencing analysis, and outreach, he has a track record of mentoring students and publishing on adaptation, species recognition, and convergent traits. An unassuming trait is his breadth: from molecular diagnostics in a clinical lab to developing bioinformatics pipelines for diverse genomic datasets.
