Zerina Johanson is a leading researcher in the field of early vertebrate evolutionary developmental biology ('Evo Devo'), combining palaeontological research with developmental studies on living animals. Her diverse research interests include the evolution and development of teeth and dentitions, vertebrate reproduction, paired appendages, and the axial skeleton. Dr Johanson has spoken at evo-devo symposia and has a strong commitment to supporting this research via her appointment to several journal editorial boards, and as a co-editor for volumes such as a special issue of the Journal of Anatomy on Vertebrate Evolution and Development (2013).
