Alberto Civetta

Alberto Civetta is a Professor at the University of Winnipeg's Department of Biology, affiliated with the Richardson College for the Environment and Science Complex. His research focuses on evolutionary genetics and genomics of reproductive traits, combining classical genetics, molecular approaches, and bioinformatics to study sperm development, fertility, and species differentiation. He utilizes comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis to investigate the role of selection in reproductive adaptations.

• Research Tools: Genomic data analysis, phylogenetic modeling, bioinformatics
• Current Activities: Accepting applications for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers

His work bridges evolutionary biology and molecular genetics, emphasizing the genetic basis of reproductive trait divergence between species. He integrates phenotypic and genomic data to uncover mechanisms underlying evolutionary adaptations in reproductive systems.
