معرفی
Gregory Allan Wray is a Professor of Biology at Duke University's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, with additional appointments in Evolutionary Anthropology (2008–present), Biostatistics & Bioinformatics (2022–present), and Cell Biology (2022–present). His research bridges empirical and computational approaches to explore evolutionary changes in gene networks, chromatin architecture, and developmental mechanisms across species like sea urchins, butterflies, and primates.
- Education: Ph.D. from Duke University (1987), B.S. from the College of William and Mary (1981)
Wray’s work focuses on the evolution of genes and genomes, particularly how regulatory changes drive biological diversity. His recent publications highlight single-cell transcriptomics, chromatin accessibility in development, and sea urchin life history evolution. He has secured major grants from institutions like the National Institutes of Health (2024–2028) and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (1980–2028).
Scientific awards include Faculty of 1000 Membership and advisory roles on scientific boards. His lab at Duke’s French Family Science Center integrates genomics, computational modeling, and experimental embryology to decode evolutionary mechanisms.
