Research
I am interested in understanding the forces that cause dynamic evolutionary patterns in different kinds of biological system. I use laboratory and computational approaches to address fundamental questions about evolutionary and population genetics of pathogens and their hosts.
Particular interests
- Understanding the importance of natural selection, recombination, gene flow, and drift in the evolution of pathogens.
- Population dynamics of pathogens using genomic approaches
- Host demographic structure using viral genes as markers
