Evolutionary Dynamics

Research in the lab revolves around the population genetics of adaptation and speciation, with a particular interest in the prevalence and importance of epistasis and other interaction effects on both the molecular and the population level. As means of studying evolution, we use mathematical modeling, computer simulations, and statistical data analysis (primarily from experimental-evolution approaches). While we are a theoretical and computational group by nature, we work in close interaction with empirical researchers at the IGC and beyond (e.g., Isabel Gordo, Daniel Bolon).
