Richard J. Wang studies how genetic mutations arise across generations in animals, comparing mutation rates and patterns between species such as lemurs, opossums, cats, and grizzly bears. A recurring focus is why mutations differ between males and females (sex-biased mutation) and how reproductive timing and life history affect the rate at which new mutations accumulate. Some of his work also extends to human population history and, in collaborations, to health topics among people living with HIV.
Publication activity has been fairly steady over the past decade, with several productive years and a moderate recent average of about three papers per year.
