Joy Bergelson Last updated July 20, 2025 American biologist
Joy Michele Bergelson is an American evolutionary biologist . She is currently the Dorothy Schiff Professor of Genomics at New York University . [ 1] Bergelson was previously and James D. Watson Distinguished Service Professor of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago , where she chaired the department for ecology and evolution. Her research focuses on the evolution and ecology of plants. [ 2]
Research Bergelson is known for her research on the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana , its ecology and the evolution of plant-pathogen interactions. Her early research examined interactions between insects and trees, [ 7] spatial patterns in trees [ 8] and weeds, [ 9] and the energetic cost to plants to resist insects. [ 10] Subsequently, she examined genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana, [ 11] [ 12] the genetic basis for disease resistance in plants, [ 13] and polymorphisms in Arabidopsis. [ 14] [ 15] Bergelson's research has also examined genetic adaptations in plants to recent climate change. [ 16]
