The Kozak lab uses genetics and genomics to understand how species form and are at risk for extinction. The lab uses a combination of experiments, field collection, and bioinformatic approaches. Current projects in the lab involve genetic basis of adaptive (or maladaptive) responses to climate change in a variety of organisms and hybridization patterns among Callophrys butterflies.

UMass-Dartmouth provides a PhD program in Integrative Biology and a MS program in Biology. Located on the south coast of Massachusetts, the University is less than 60 miles from Boston, Cape Cod, and Providence RI.
