Dr. Marcy Uyenoyama

Biography

Marcy Uyenoyama studies the mechanisms of evolutionary change at the molecular population levels. Her research addresses the development of maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods for inferring evolutionary processes and patterns of molecular variation. Her current research focuses on characterizing population structure and the effects of natural selection on genomic structure. Uyenoyama's major research area includes predicting and detecting the effects of natural selection, as well as the dynamics of genetic diversity in mixed mating systems and their implications for evolutionary biology. She has authored several significant publications in reputable journals, contributing to the understanding of genetic diversity and evolutionary processes. Over the years, Uyenoyama has received numerous grants from the National Institutes of Health for her research in bioinformatics and mathematical population genetics, reflecting her expertise and influence in the field of evolutionary biology.
