Urs C. Schmidt-Ott is a Professor at the University of Chicago, specializing in Organismal Biology. He serves as the Chair of the Anatomy Committee and is involved in various other committees focused on Development, Regeneration, Stem Cell Biology, Genetics, Genomics, and Systems Biology. His research primarily employs experimental genomic approaches to uncover the molecular basis of evolutionary novelties and the causes of developmental systems drift in embryos, utilizing a wide range of both old and new fly models, including midges and mosquitoes (Diptera). He is particularly interested in the mechanisms of pattern formation and morphogenesis and welcomes students and scholars who aim to use zoo fly species to understand the plasticity and robustness of shape, gene networks, and developmental mechanisms.
