The Purdue Forestry and Natural Resources Genetics Lab Team are conducting genetic research which includes wildlife genetics, conservation genetics, population genetics, forest genetics, ecological genetics and toxicogenomics.
Lab Team
Dr. Andrew DeWoody
Dr. DeWoody's research team uses molecular techniques to study genetics/genomics, behavioral ecology, and population biology in a variety of wildlife species.
Dr. Keith E. Woeste
Dr. Woeste is a scientist in the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (HTIRC) which develops genetic tools for studying forest trees to improve the sustainability, diversity, and productivity of the central hardwood forest.
Dr. Rod Williams
Rod Williams is currently the Vice Provost for Outreach and Engagement at Texas Tech University. Rod received his B.S. in Wildlife Science in 1996, his M.S. in Conservation Genetics in 1998, and his Ph.D. in Evolutionary Genetics in 2007 from Purdue University.
Dr. Jason Hoverman
Dr. Hoverman's is broadly interested in the fields of community ecology, ecotoxicology, and disease ecology. His research groups emphasizes the interactive effects of natural and anthropogenic factors in their work. Their work is mainly conducted in wetland systems with a focus on amphibians.
