Understanding how humans adapt to diverse environments is a central question in genetics and evolutionary biology. Our group investigates human genomic diversity and adaptive evolution through integrative population genomics, combining genomics, phenomics, and experimental biology to uncover population history, genetic structure, and adaptive responses.

We focus on two extreme environments: high altitude and tropical rainforest. By comparing populations across these settings, we explore how environmental pressures, genetic variation, and archaic introgression jointly drive rapid adaptation. Our goal is to reveal the biological basis of human adaptation and develop a unified framework for adaptive evolution.
