Urs Schmidt-Ott is a faculty member at the University of Chicago in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy. His research focuses on experimental genomic approaches to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying evolutionary novelties and developmental systems drift in embryos. He utilizes a diverse array of old and new fly models, including midges and mosquitoes from the order Diptera, to investigate mechanisms of pattern formation and morphogenesis. Schmidt-Ott's lab welcomes students and scholars interested in exploring the plasticity and robustness of shape gene networks and developmental mechanisms. He has received extensive training in genetics and molecular developmental biology through prestigious institutions such as Max-Planck-Institute and the University of Mainz. His work is supported by various research grants from the NIH, demonstrating his significant contributions to the field of evolutionary biology and genetic research.
