My name is Gabe DuBose, and I am a mathematical and computational biologist. My primary research focuses on understanding the evolution of organismal complexity. I approach this question through a variety of topics, including the interplay between developmental complexity, phenotypic plasticity, endosymbiotic interactions, and the processes that drive biological evolution.
I am also interested in applying general evolutionary principles to help solve practical problems. In addition to my academic interests, I currently work as a contractor through the St. George Tanaq Corporation supporting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In addiion to my research and work, I am also passionate about teaching. I particularly enjoy teaching topics in evolutionary biology and quantitative/mathematical biology. In this, I have an interest in improving how we teach the process of biological evolution, where I focus on building conceptual syntheses and integrating mathematics/quantiative reasoning into evolutionary biology education.
