Gwen Ellis

Gwen is a PhD student at the University of Vermont studying ecological genomics. Her research focuses on how amphibians are able to adapt to disease and what that means under different environmental stressors. She's particularly excited about this research project because it deals with frog communities close to home and works with an invaluable community resource: museums. Aside from the interesting evolutionary questions her research works to answer, she has a lot of passion for how molecular methods can inform wildlife conservation.
