The goal of our research is to better understand the biology of microbial organisms of significant ecological, veterinary and medical importance. To achieve this goal, our team combines the power of next generation DNA sequencing and bioinformatics with molecular biology and experimental procedures.
Main research topics: - Comparative and Population Genomics of Plant Symbionts - Parasite Genome Evolution - Experimental Evolution of Microbial Symbionts and Parasites - Phylogenomics of Early Branching Fungi
