Professional Summary
Maeva Techer, Ph.D. is a postdoctoral researcher in the Texas A&M University Department of Entomology and a trainee member of the NSF Biological Integration Institute-Behavioral Plasticity Research Institute. Her research seeks to understand how species and populations can rapidly respond and adapt to environmental changes by generating and maintaining variability. Her current work explore the genetic basis of the locust phase polyphenism by comparing high-quality genomes of six species of Schistocerca grasshoppers. Maeva will take advantage of the BPRI integrative approach to get in-depth insights into the evolutionary adaptations to new environments by combining genomics, epigenomics and transcriptomics.
