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.
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.
Our research focuses on the role of the human microbiome in mental health and the social transmission of the microbiome.
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 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.
His lab uses comparative transcriptomics and functional assays in model organisms to investigate the evolution of alternative splicing and its impact in complex polygenic human diseases, such as diabetes and autism.
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.
