Biography

Research in my laboratory focuses on various aspects of biology, including vertebrate mitochondrial systems that exhibit essential biological processes, and the molecular dynamics of host-parasite interactions, particularly mechanisms that govern the origin of new viral and bacterial pathogens through genomic recombination and horizontal gene transfer. My work also explores molecular phylogenetics, microbial genomic evolution, and the origins and evolution of alternative splicing. Additionally, I am committed to developing powerful computational tools to aid in these endeavors.
