In Spring 2027, the Gaynor Lab will get started at Florida State University in the Department of Biological Science. My lab group is called the "GEEP" lab, which stands for Gaynor Ecology and Evolution of Polyploids. See my Research Page for more information!
My lab is open to Ph.D. and master students, undergraduate researchers, a lab technician, and a postdoctoral researcher. Find out more about how to join here!

Past Undergraduate and Post-Baccalaureate Researchers
I have been extremely fortunate to work with amazing undergraduate researchers during my time at UF. Based on my own undergraduate research experience, I treat the mentoring relationship as two sided, there is always something we can learn from each other. I am very lucky to be able to be learn and work with each of these students!
