Bianca Brown

Bianca Brown is a Research Fellow in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her research focuses on microbiome dynamics, evolutionary biology, and ecological interactions, with a particular emphasis on host-microbiome relationships, parasite-host interactions, and genomic adaptations in diverse species. She holds a primary appointment in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry and is affiliated with the Yale School of Medicine.

Her work spans multiple ecosystems, including terrestrial wildlife, marine organisms, and African savannas. Key research themes include microbiome responses to environmental perturbations, phylogenetic influences on microbiome composition, and the genomic basis of adaptation in species like barnacles, rodents, and spiny eels. Dr. Brown’s studies integrate molecular techniques, ecological observations, and computational analyses to address fundamental questions in biology and conservation.
