Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Regina Baucom’s research broadly addresses plant adaptation to regimes of strong human-mediated selection, with special focus on weedy plant adaptation to agriculture. Her research utilizes genomic tools and ecological field experiments to understand the evolutionary trajectory of herbicide resistance, competition, and plant-microbe interactions. Dr. Baucom received her PhD from the Department of Genetics at the University of Georgia in 2006 and, after a stint as a post-doc in Jeff Bennetzen’s lab, joined the faculty in the Biological Sciences Department at the University of Cincinnati in 2010. She joined the EEB Dept at University of Michigan in 2013.
