Lake Erie Center
: Great Lakes Genetics Lab

Carol Stepien PhD. Director, Lake Erie Center CV-2009 Biographical Sketch

The Great Lakes Genetics Laboratory (GLGL) of the Lake Erie Center, formulated and directed by Dr. Stepien, focuses on working with federal and state agencies and other researchers to develop and apply genetic DNA markers for:

1. Evaluating the population and biogeographic structure of native fishes in the Great Lakes
2. Developing understanding of the vector pathways, population dynamics, evolutionary relationships, and genetic time course of nonindigenous species invasions in the Great Lakes
3. Interpreting gene flow patterns of river and lake fishes as influenced by dams, habitat changes, and other anthropogenic factors.
