Javier is an Assistant Professor of Genomics at the Department of Biology of Clark University. His lab is interested in identifying the patterns of genomic evolution of fungal species and populations, especially focused on the evolution, systematics, and genomics of secondary metabolism of the genus Basidiobolus.
The Tabima lab uses a multidisciplinary approach of integrating tools and concepts from evolutionary theory, computational biology, genomics, genetics, and plant pathology/mycology in order to study these phenomena, as well as to create computational and molecular tools for the rapid identification of species, populations, genes of interest and molecular patterns of fungal evolution.
