Name: Daren Card (he/him)
PhD: Biology, University of Texas - Arlington, 2018
What was your main area of research?
I am an evolutionary genomics researcher who works to illuminate the mechanisms of adaptive evolution at various levels of biological regulation ranging from genes to organisms. During my PhD and postdoc, I focused on tying interesting organism traits, like island dwarfism and limb loss, to genetics in non-traditional model species, largely reptiles. In my current role, I have begun applying my expertise to understanding the role of chromatin remodelers on biology in the context of human disease, especially cancer.
What is your current job?
I am a Computational Biologist I at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Boston, Massachusetts.
