His lab studies how genomic variation shapes evolution —especially in primates—by integrating population genomics and comparative -omics to understand what makes species, including humans, biologically distinct.
Inspired by nature’s ability to optimize complex, non-linear problems, his lab specializes in applying natural computing algorithms, particularly evolutionary algorithms, to study key questions about a species's history and adaptation.
Her lab leverages phylogenomics and comparative genomics to investigate animal genome evolution and the processes of adaptation and speciation, with a special focus on the origin of terrestrial biodiversity and the genomic changes that enabled animals to colonise land from a macroevolutionary perspective.
His lab studies why mutation rates vary across cell types and species, the mechanisms driving mutation, and their impact on evolution, aging, and disease.
His lab is interested in human genomic diversity and how it relates to social and cultural aspects (ethnicity, surnames), to demographic history, or the natural history of human diseases, as well as its applications in forensic genetics.
His lab interrogates genome diversity to infer what are the forces that affect living organisms, how and when they act and how they affect biodiversity, human emotions or the differential susceptibility of different people to certain diseases.
His lab analyzes human genome diversity with the aim of inferring the genomic and population processes that are responsible for this diversity, and outlining the population and epidemiological consequences of the human genetic variability.
Her lab focuses on investigating human genomic diversity. They are particularly interested in the architecture of the genetic predisposition to complex disease and in human adaptive traits that have undergone positive selection during human evolution.
Her lab studies different aspects of human genome variation, population genetics, and disease susceptibility in the past and present Native American and Latin American populations.
