UPF-MELIS

 

Group Leader of the Molecular Virology lab

 

Her lab uses comparative transcriptomic, epitrancriptomics and translatomics to study how mosquito-borne viruses, such as dengue or zika viruses, efficiently translate and replicate their genomes in mosquitoes and humans, two hosts separated by one billion years in evolution.

 

Group Leader of the Translational Synthetic Biology lab

ICREA Research Professor

 

His lab uses artificial evolution and ancestral evolutionary reconstructions to create new systems to enable more efficient and secure modification of the human genome and metagenome, as well as to create new biological functions with biotechnological relevance.

 

Group Leader of the Human Genome Diversity lab

 

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.

 

Group Leader of the Evolutionary Population Genetics lab

 

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.
