Mikhail V Matz is a Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on understanding how populations of reef-building corals adapt to variable environments, particularly in the context of climate change. He employs ecological approaches combined with classical quantitative genetics and genomics, including genome-wide genotyping and gene expression studies. Matz and his team continuously develop new laboratory and bioinformatic methods for genomics in non-model organisms. His work integrates various aspects of climate change, ecology, epigenetics, and evolution, contributing significantly to the field of marine biology and the understanding of coral resilience.
