Laboratory of Human and Primate Evolutionary Genetics
The laboratory is a recently renovated 375 sq ft. facility at Lehman College and is dedicated to molecular genetic data collection for population genetic studies. The focus of work in the wet laboratory is on the preparation of rare and unique human and primate DNA samples for sequence, SNP, and STRP data collection. The laboratory is fully equipped, including real-time and gradient thermocyclers, a digital fluorescence imaging system, and an automated sample preparation system.
The laboratory is actively involved in the training of Lehman College undergraduate students and graduate students from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York in anthropological genetic methods. Previous undergraduate trainees have presented research findings at regional and international conferences and have gone on to conduct advanced laboratory research in prestigious medical and graduate schools.
