About Research Publications Outreach

About

Research in my lab involves analyzing genome sequences in order to reconstruct and interpret the evolutionary histories of plants, animals, and their associated microbial communities. I am particularly attracted to cases in which ancient/degraded DNA derived from natural history collections allows us to understand present-day distributions of biodiversity by looking directly into the past.

Research opportunities for master students are available in the Holomuseomics research group. I encourage you to make contact if you are interested in becoming involved.

Competencies

  • Ancient DNA
  • Phylogenomics

Palaeo-genomics to reconstruct the evolutionary responses of endemic high-arctic reindeer to past environmental change

BiGTREE

BiGTREE is an HKdir-funded NORPART training network between Norway, Peru and Colombia. This network aims to provide training in cutting-edge bioinformatic evolutionary analysis in the field of biodiversity genomics.
