The Weinreich Lab at Brown University

Professor Weinreich uses complementary theoretical and experimental methods to study how genetic novelty fuels evolution by natural selection. He trained as a computer scientist in college and spent almost 10 years working as a software engineer. He then pursued a PhD and postdoctoral training in population genetics and microbial experimental evolution before being appointed at Brown University in 2007.

Professor Weinreich regularly teaches BIOL 0380: The Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Disease and BIOL 1430: Population Genetics, and occasionally also graduate seminars in his areas of interest. He has published almost 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and his textbook on population genetics appeared from MIT Press in 2023.
