The Abouheif Laboratory of Eco-Evo-Devo Medicine
Synthesizing ecology, evolution, and development to address grand challenges in complexity and biomedical science.
Our Research
Where Evolution Meets Medicine’s Next Frontier
We integrate ecology, evolution, and development to understand the origins and evolution of complexity in living systems. By studying gene–environment interactions across scales, from molecules to societies, we reveal new insights into disease and pioneer eco-evo-devo approaches to human medicine.
