The Conservation Genetics Lab is focused on the application of genetic principles and techniques to conservation and management issues. Focus areas of work include broodstock management, interaction between genetic population structure and habitat, and use of genetics for management of threatened or endangered species.

Federici is Distinguished Professor, Entomology, Genetics, and Microbiology in the Department of Entomology & Interdepartmental Graduate Programs in Genetics and Microbiology. His research focuses on the basic biology and development of insect pathogens that show promise for use as control agents in ecologically sound IPM programs aimed at managing major insect crop pests and vectors of human and animal diseases.

His research has led to Phaseolus genetic and genomic tools, including a core molecular linkage map in common bean, a set of phylogenetically arrayed BAC libraries, a QTL mapping of domestication traits, and a detailed analysis of the phaseolin seed protein locus. His recent research has been devoted to describing the importance of gene flow in the common bean.
