Professor Dr. Ryan Gregory

Biography

Ryan Gregory is a Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Guelph, focusing on evolutionary biology and genomics. His research encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including genomics, cytogenetics, cell biology, and ecology, with a unifying theme of evolution. He has developed a keen interest in genome evolution, particularly how genomic changes affect organismal biology, behavior, and physiology. His professional journey began with a B.Sc. from McMaster University in 1997, followed by a Ph.D. from the University of Guelph in 2002. Gregory’s postdoctoral experiences include work at the American Museum of Natural History and the Natural History Museum in London. His lab focuses on optimizing methodologies for quantifying nuclear DNA content and the development of protocols for image analysis in flow cytometry. He actively engages with the Canadian Barcode of Life Network and collaborates with diverse biologists to enhance understanding of genome evolution. His research primarily investigates how genome size influences ecological and evolutionary processes
