Pamela Yeh

Pamela Yeh is an evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she has been on faculty since 2013. She is also an External Faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute, contributing to interdisciplinary research in complex systems. Her work focuses on the evolutionary impacts of human activities, particularly in urban and agricultural environments.

Her educational background includes a BA in Biology from Harvard-Radcliffe Colleges, a PhD in Evolutionary Biology from the University of California, San Diego, and postdoctoral training at Harvard University’s Center for Genomics Research and Harvard Medical School’s Department of Systems Biology.

Pamela Yeh's research centers on how species evolve in response to anthropogenic pressures. Key areas include the evolution of birds in urban settings and the development of drug-resistant bacteria in human-impacted environments. She is particularly interested in how evolutionary biology can inform public health policy and research, bridging biological sciences with societal applications.

Although specific publications are not listed, her active research profile is indicated by a timeline of publications from 2010 through 2025, suggesting sustained scholarly output in evolutionary biology, genomics, and public health. Her work likely spans empirical studies, genomic analyses, and theoretical models of evolution in human-altered ecosystems.
