Ali Berens earned her PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology in 2015. She worked in Dr. Amy Toth's laboratory where she investigated genetic mechanisms underpinning caste development across three major social insect lineages (bees, ants, wasps) using comparative transcriptomics.
After ISU, she moved to a research position at Georgia Tech. Her work focused on identifying global populations with risk of prostate cancer and classifying regions of the human genome based on contributions to prostate cancer health disparities. She also assessed the health of anciet hominids based on estimated genetic risk at known disease-associated regions of the genome. In April 2017, she joined Monsanto as a Data Scientist in the Genomic and Data Science goup.

Amy Toth is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology and Entomology at Iowa State University. Amy is interested in the mechanisms and evolution of insect sociality, using paper wasps and honey bees as model systems. Current research projects involve de novo sequencing of multiple bee and wasp genomes and transcriptomes, comparative genomic analysis of Hymenoptera, genomic and epigenetic mechanisms regulating caste evolution, and the influences of nutrition and viruses on honey bee behavior and health. Amy received her PhD from the University of Illinois with Gene Robinson, and did postdoctoral work with Christina Grozinger at Pennsylvania State University.
