Department of Biology presents

“The evolutionary genetics of climate change adaptation (and extinction)”

Moisés Expósito-Alonso
Stanford University, Biology

Evolutionary ecologist and plant geneticist Moisés (Moi) Expósito-Alonso is a Staff Associate at
the Carnegie Departments of Plant Biology and Global Ecology, and Assistant Professor (by
courtesy) of Biology at Stanford University. Moi received a BSc in biology from the University of
Seville, Spain, working as an ecologist in the Doñana Biological Station (CSIC). After he earned his
PhD in plant genomics at the Max Planck Institute (Germany) he conducted a short postdoc in
statistical evolutionary genetics at the University of California Berkeley. With his group at
Carnegie he combines experimental ecology, population genomics, and gene editing to study
how evolutionary genetic processes may enable or hinder species adaptation to the ongoing
climate change.
