 A virologist by academic training, I have turned into a molecular evolutionnist during my doctoral studies. While staying in the global track of molecular evolution, my research has mainly developed along three axes:
- the (not always) bifurcating history of animal species and populations as evidenced by neutral markers (such as mitochondrial DNA)
- the evolution and modalities of transmission of viruses and parasites (within and between host species)
- the development and assessment of bench methods
I am still unrolling these threads, now at the Robert-Koch-Institut, Berlin (http://www.rki.de). |
