Tony Gill is a Ph.D. student at UC Davis in the Integrative Genetics and Genomics Graduate Group at the Whitehead Lab in the Department of Environmental Toxicology. He received his B.A. from Purdue University and an M.S. in Science-Medical Writing from Johns Hopkins University, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. He spent several years as a molecular biologist generating transgenic zebrafish models to study mutations in leukemia in Dr. Peter Aplan’s laboratory at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda Maryland. He went on to work as a laboratory manager for Dr. Adam Leaché at the University of Washington in the development of sequencing technologies for comparative genomics. Before joining the Whitehead lab in 2017, Tony came from the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle where he was introduced to environmental toxicology under the mentorship of Dr. John Incardona and Dr. Nathanial Sholtz. Research interests include evolutionary functional genomics, conservation genetics, and the ecological impacts of freshwater and marine pollution. For his dissertation work Tony is integrating comparative genomics and physiology to determine the genetic mechanisms underlying the collapse and lack of recovery of Prince William Sound herring.
