Evolutionary (epi)genomics of plant responses to global changes

Unlocking the secrets of plant adaptation.

Welcome to the Amandine Cornille Lab

at NYUAD Biology Department

We combine laboratory experiments, fieldwork, modeling, molecular biology, population genetics, and genomics to understand plant diversity and how plants — together with their associated symbionts (parasites, mutualists) — evolve and adapt to their environment.

Ecology

Exploring the interactions of plants with their environement in the context of global change.

Evolutionary Biology

Studying evolutionary processes shaping plant diversity and adaptation.

Population Genomics and Epigenomics

Applying genomics and epigenomics tools to understand plant population structure and dynamics.
