Dr. Toffelmier’s research focuses on the genomics of at-risk species and ecosystems, using population and landscape genomic tools to characterize patterns of genetic variation within and between species. Her work examines how complex and variable landscapes influence genomic diversity and structure. She also serves as Associate Director of the California Conservation Genomics Project, a large-scale, multi-institution effort to rapidly accelerate the development of a novel conservation genomics toolkit to support management efforts in one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots.
