Rate My Professor Jeremy Wideman

Jeremy Wideman serves as an assistant professor in the Biodesign Center for Mechanisms of Evolution and the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University. His research program combines cell and molecular biology with evolutionary genomics and protistology to develop a cell biological understanding of eukaryotic diversity and the emergence of complexity in eukaryote evolution. Wideman was trained as a cell biologist investigating mitochondrial protein import in Frank Nargang’s lab at the University of Alberta. His postdoctoral research with Joel Dacks focused on protist genomics and eukaryotic evolution and diversity. An EMBO long-term fellowship supported his work at Exeter, UK, with Tom Richards. Prior to his appointment at Arizona State University, he conducted research at Dalhousie University in Halifax with Ford Doolittle.
