Personal profile

Research

I am interested in evolutionary consequences of host-pathogen interactions. Current projects focus on pathogen-mediated selection and how this drives diversity within and among host species. To address this, my group combines population genomics with functional analyses of polymorphisms in immune genes. Our main study system is wild rodents and their pathogens such as the tick-transmitted bacterium Borrelia afzelii.

Teaching

I am responsible for the courses in Immunology (BIOR85) and Immunology and Infection Biology (BIOR88). I am also coordinator for the master's program in Immunology and Infection Biology.
