Welcome to the Rebeiz Lab!

Our lab is focused on understanding how complex developmental programs that control morphology evolve. To do this, we study rapidly evolving traits of the Drosophila model system: pigmentation, male genitalia, and gene expression traits.

The lab--established in the Fall of 2010--is housed in the Life Sciences Annex in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh.
