The Baugh Lab is interested in phenotypic plasticity and adaptation to starvation. We use the roundworm C. elegans for an integrative organismal approach that considers molecular mechanisms in a developmental and ecological context. We are studying how development is governed by nutrient availability, how animals survive starvation, long-term consequences of early life starvation, and multigenerational plasticity. Follow the “Research” link to learn more.
We are looking for a postdoc! Send a cover letter and CV to ryan.baugh@duke.edu if you are interested.
