Research Interest: Population Genomics and Biogeography

MIAO Lin was an experienced laboratory technician before he began his graduate study, especially proficient at producing transgenic mice at NIBS. Driven by an interest towards nature and wildlife, he decided to explore a research path during his Ph.D. working on free-ranging instead of lab animals.  His current research is concerning population genomics and biogeography of Southeast Asian mammalian species.
