Peter Andolfatto completed a PhD in Genetics at the University of Chicago in 1999 and was both an EMBO and a Royal Society of Edinburgh Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Edinburgh (1999-2003). He has held faculty positions at the University of Toronto (2003-2004), UC San Diego (2004-2008), and Princeton University (2008-2018). He is currently a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University. Peter studies the factors - both at the level of molecular mechanisms and at the population-level - that constrain the evolution of adaptive complex traits and the extent to which the genetic basis of organismal phenotypic diversity is predictable.
