Welcome to the Williams Molecular Evolution and Developmental Biology Lab at Bates!

We are fundamentally interested in how organisms change and adapt to environmental stimulus. To address this broad question, we utilize a mixture of molecular, cellular, and imaging techniques in multiple model systems: the freshwater zebrafish (Danio rerio), the smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora), eelgrass (Zostera marina), and invasive crabs (Carcinus maenas and Hemigrapsus sanguineus).
