Andrea González Muñoz

Postdoctoral Fellow

Andrea joined the Wulff Lab in August of 2021 as a PhD student. She graduated in December of 2025 and is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Her research currently focuses on the evolution and genetic architecture of trichome variation in Triticeae species. Under the aegis of the Open Wild Wheat Consortium, she has been involved in the generation of a pan-genome for the wild wheat Aegilops tauschii as a genomics resource for gene discovery of biotic and abiotic stress tolerance.

Andrea obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Universidad de Caldas in Colombia in 2012 and earned her Master’s degree in Biological Sciences from Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 2016. From 2016 to 2021, Andrea worked as researcher at the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology of Colombia (BIOS) in the Bioinformatics and Biotechnology department. Her experience at BIOS involved genomics and transcriptomics data analysis in corals, bacteria, fungi, and plants to support research groups and other research centers in their investigations.

Andrea’s research interests include the analysis of genomics and transcriptomics data for the discovery and use of genetic variation, as well as k-mer-based genomic analyses for population genomics, association genetics (GWAS), and phylogenomics.
