Research summary

Helen Chamberlin studies the genetics and evolution of developmental signaling pathways using the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and related nematode species as model organisms. Her work examines how genes controlling processes like vulval development, cell signaling (Notch and Ras pathways), and gene duplication change and adapt across related worm species, and includes efforts to build reference genome assemblies and computational modeling tools for studying gene networks. Students in this area would work with genetic model organisms to understand how developmental gene functions evolve over time.

Publication output was relatively steady through the late 2010s and early 2020s (peaking around 2019) but has declined noticeably in the last few years, dropping to just 1-3 papers annually since 2023.
