We investigate genetic basis of organismal response to novel environments. Such response generally occurs through genetic adaptation, phenotypic plasticity or combination of these two processes. We are particularly interested in exploring the relative roles of genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity that underly a trait evolution. We integrate a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, including comparative ‘omics’ (Genomics, Transcriptomics, Epigenomics, Metagenomics and Metabolomics) and Eco-physiology to uncover the molecular basis underlying the processes of adaptive evolution.

We investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the construction of the brain and functional neural circuitry, particularly genesis, positioning and connectivity of neurons in the brain. These processes are essential for communication across the brain and for generating cognitive, social and emotional behaviors.
