Research Interests
Research in the Lemer lab focuses on understanding how biodiversity arises and is
maintained in marine invertebrates, at the species, population and individual levels,
in the context of a changing environment.
Our work primarily focused on diverse mollusc groups, but we also explore the wider realm of marine invertebrates to address our research questions (We even sometimes venture into the vertebrate world!).
鈥婭n the Lemer lab we mainly use a combination of field work, experiments in controlled environments, Next Generation Sequencing approaches (RNA-Seq, RAD-Seq, Tag-Seq and Genome sequencing) and bioinformatics to answer questions about population genetics, phylogeny and gene expression in various taxa such as Annelids, Bivalves, Cephalopods and Scleractinian corals.
The Lemer Lab stands for justice and equal treatment of people regardless of race, origin, gender or sexual orientation. As such we promote inclusive, anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-discriminatory practices. The PI is committed to actively work towards advancing women, people of color and pacific islanders in the lab and the classroom with opportunities such as science education, lab experience, conference attendance and outreach. We welcome new students and postdocs who share our values and are passionate about invertebrate evolutionary genomics, contact me: sarah.lemer@gmail.com
