林振国简介：

Dr. Lin received his B.S. degree from Wuhan University, China in 2002. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2008 fromPennsylvania State University. He conducted  postdoctoral research from 2008 to 2012 at University of Chicago. Before joining faculty at SLU in the Fall of 2014, Dr. Lin was a Huxley Faculty Fellow at  Rice University.

Dr. Lin's primary research interests focus on developing innovative approaches by integrating computational and experimental tools to address: 1) evolutionary dynamics of genome architecture and chromosome subtelomeric regions; 2) evolution of promoter structure and gene regulation; and 3) genetic basis underlying the evolution of biological novelty and complexity.
