Kiran Adhikari is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Entomology at Cornell University, affiliated with the Lazzaro Lab. Their research focuses on genetics, evolutionary biology, and molecular mechanisms underlying insect traits such as sex determination, thermal adaptation, and developmental patterning.
Key research interests include the evolution of sex chromosomes in insects, genotype-by-environment interactions, and the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity. Adhikari's work combines experimental genetics, ecological studies, and genomic analyses to address fundamental questions in evolutionary and developmental biology.
Publications highlight contributions to understanding house fly proto-Y chromosome effects on gene expression and fitness, thermal tolerance in insects, and the role of Distal-less gene in butterfly wing patterning. Collaborations emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to unravel complex biological systems.
