Amanda De La Torre (Lab PI) is an Assistant Professor at Northern Arizona University, School of Forestry. She obtained her PhD from the University of British Columbia, Canada, and later worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Umea University in Sweden, and the University of California Davis. Research in Dr. De La Torre's group aims to understand the genomic and evolutionary basis of plant adaptation to changing environments, using tools in genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics. Her recent publications include “Functional and morphological evolution in gymnosperms: a portrait of implicated gene families” (2020), “Genetic variation related to high elevation adaptation revealed by long-term common garden experiments in Pines yunnanensis” (2020), and “Genomic basis of white pine blister rust quantitative disease resistance and its relationship with qualitative resistance” (2020).
