Margres' lab focuses on adaptation dynamics in two co-evolving systems: Tasmanian devils and a species-specific transmissible cancer, and venomous snakes and their prey. Research in both systems involves the integration of diverse -omic approaches with phenotypic data, ecology, field work and experimentation to better understand the genotype-phenotype-fitness connection in natural populations.

Carney's research focuses on epidemiology, functional morphology, mosquito-borne diseases and paleontology. His epidemiology research primarily focuses on the surveillance and control of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, West Nile virus and Zika. Through NSF- and NIH-funded global research collaborations with NASA and the CDC, he leads a team that identifies disease-spreading and invasive mosquitoes using artificial intelligence, along with citizen science data from three partner apps.

McCleary's research focuses on snakes and the evolution of snake venom.
