Samridhi Chaturvedi

Samridhi Chaturvedi serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology within Tulane University's School of Science and Engineering. She leads the Chaturvedi Lab, which conducts cutting-edge research at the intersection of evolutionary biology and genomics.

The lab's research program investigates genetic and evolutionary processes shaping genomes through an integrative 'omics' approach. Key focus areas include ecological adaptation mechanisms, genetic architecture of adaptive traits, and population-level genetic variation dynamics across spatial and temporal scales. Methodologically, the lab combines field ecology, molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and computational modeling to address fundamental questions in evolutionary genomics.

Committed to scientific inclusivity, the lab actively promotes broadening participation in life sciences and enhancing science communication beyond academic circles. Prospective researchers interested in plant-insect interactions, population genetics, or evolutionary genomics are encouraged to contact Professor Chaturvedi regarding potential collaborations and research opportunities.
