Curiosity. Concepts. Connections. Commitment.
I seek to understand the mechanisms of adaptation to different environments. In particular, I want to identify the biochemistry, ecology and evolution of these mechanisms, for example by investigating functional networks.
At Graz University of Technology, I am equipping and running a laboratory for long read sequencing. This will allow us to identify large structural variants in the genome, epigenetic modifications and detection of splices variants. Together, this will enable us to increase our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underly diseases, development and adaptation.
