 The Purugganan Laboratory is in the Department of Biology and Center for Genomics and Systems Biology at New York University . Research in the laboratory is focused primarily on evolutionary and ecological genomics, but members of the group have been known to study a wide range of topics in molecular evolution, ecology and development. The work in the laboratory is funded by the National Science Foundation. The laboratory is located on the 4th floor of the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, at 12 Waverly Place. The building is located in the historic neighborhood of Greenwich Village in New York City. The nearest subway stops are 8 St. NYU for Subways N, Q, R, and W, and W 4 St. Washington Square for Subways A, C, E, B, D, F, and V.
