معرفی
Casey Dunn is a Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Yale University, with a secondary appointment in Genetics. His research focuses on animal evolution, particularly using computational methods to analyze evolutionary relationships and genomic data. Dunn's lab studies siphonophores, exploring their structure, development, and ecological roles. He co-authored Practical Computing for Biologists to bridge computational skills with biological research.
Education: PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale University (2005). Key research interests include phylogenetics, functional specialization in colonial organisms, and the integration of genomics with ecological studies. His work spans field, laboratory, and computational approaches, with contributions to understanding HIV transmission networks through molecular epidemiology.
Publications highlight advancements in phylogenetic analysis, siphonophore biology, and HIV cluster dynamics. Collaborations include public health partnerships to apply molecular data in infectious disease control. Dunn's lab members and students engage in diverse projects, from genomic studies to marine ecology.
