Emily Moore, PhD
Principal Investigator
I am fascinated by how small differences in genomes create the amazing diversity around us, and love getting to use genetics and genomics to uncover how this all works. When not in the lab, I’m hanging out with my dogs, cooking, making art, and reading for fun.
