Walker Mellon has published more peer reviewed research as an undergraduate than I did during my PhD. He has all the tools he needs to drive this program forward. Thrilling news from Arizona Cancer Evolution Center

One of our first Arizona Cancer Evolution Center scholar students (and now soon to be brother in law😵‍💫) successfully defended his master’s thesis: Leveraging Comparative Phylogenetics for Evolutionary Medicine.

Mentoring students is such a privilege. We couldn’t be more proud! Arizona Cancer Evolution Center

Leveraging Comparative Phylogenetics for Evolutionary Medicine: Applications to Comparative Oncology biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_evobio

Reading Liam Revell & Luke Harmon's books on comparative phylogenetics, our team knew there would be important applications to comparative oncology --and the broader evolutionary medicine field. We explore these applications in our new preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
