Rachel Brem

Rachel Brem is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. As Principal Investigator of the Brem Lab, her work focuses on understanding trait variation in wild organisms through integrative approaches combining applied statistics and molecular genetics. The lab investigates DNA sequence variants driving phenotypic differences across strains and species, with active projects utilizing empirical data from fungi and mammalian cells.
