Welcome
The Veeramah Lab
About Us
Welcome to the homepage for the Veeramah Lab at Stony Brook University. Our primary focus is Evolutionary Genomics and Paleogenomics. We work on various species, ranging from humans and other non-human primates, through to Three-spined stickleback. We are particularly interested in analyzing genomic data from multiple time points to study evolution. Here you can find out about our latest research, who is working on what, access resources such as software and data and find out how you might join the lab.
Our lab can be found in the Life Sciences Building towards the south of the main Stony Brook University campus. The main campus is located in the historic north shore hamlet of Stony Brook near the geographic midpoint of Long Island. Penn Station on the island of Manhattan is a 90 minute train ride for those wanting to experience the bright lights of New York City. Long Island itself is home to 20 state parks for those interested in hiking, biking, skating, camping and picnicking, while fine white sand beaches are a feature of the island and are popular destinations for fishing, kayaking, surfing and scuba diving.
New aDNA family structure paper out in Scientific Reports
We have a new paper out led by Aleksandra Žegarac and Joachim Burger on bronze age European family structure out in Scientific Reports.
New review in Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics
Kerry Reid and Krishna Veeramah have a new review on stickleback evolutionary genomics published today in Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics.
OUR LAB MISSION
RESEARCH
Conduct population genomics research that expands our understanding of the world, fills in significant gaps in scientific knowledge and provides novel solutions to important problems.
COMMUNICATION
Make our research accessible to the general public by communicating it effectively.
TRAINING
Use our research as a framework to train/mentor/advise members of the SBU community on scientific methods.
