Welcome to the web page for Maitreya Dunham's lab. We study genome evolution in yeast using experimental evolution in the chemostat (pictured below) and comparative genomics approaches. The lab is located in the Department of Genome Sciences at University of Washington in lovely Seattle. I was previously a Lewis-Sigler Fellow at Princeton University in the Lewis-Sigler Institute.

Funding

The Dunham lab is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, March of Dimes, and Rita Allen Foundation. Members of the lab are supported by the UW Aging Training Grant, the UW Genome Training Grant, and Ruth Kirschstein Fellowships. The Dunham lab is part of the Yeast Resource Center. Maitreya is a Rita Allen Scholar and a Basil O'Connor Starter Scholar. I'd like to thank the Marian E. Smith Junior Faculty Award and the Royalty Research Fund for prior support.
