Zachary T. Calamari, PhD
Zachary Calamari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Sciences at Baruch College and the PhD Program in Biology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. His research focuses on the evolution of complex anatomical structures using genomics, morphology, and phylogenetic comparative methods. He has studied a broad diversity of mammals, from bank voles to mammoths and mastodons; a major focus of the lab is the horns, antlers, and other bony appendages of even-toed ruminants (Artiodactyla). He is interested in mentoring student research that leverages high-throughput sequencing data and the excellent fossil and skeletal collections at the American Museum of Natural History.
Kyra Tippens-Richan
CUNY PhD Program in Biology
Kyra's research interests include cancer, disease pathology, anatomy, and physiology of hoofed mammals. Before coming to CUNY, she worked as an autopsy technician at the Animal Medical Center. She has been a wildlife rehabilitator for over ten years, so wildlife work is not something new. Although she has never raised deer, she is pretty fawned of deer and their friends.
