Evolutionary Genomics of Sex

Welcome Lydia and Solenn to the lab as postdoc and Master thesis student

We’re excited to welcome Lydia and Solenn to the lab!
Lydia joins us as a postdoctoral researcher working on sex chromosome turnover and how they shape recombination landscape and dosage compensation in frogs. Solenn joins the lab for her Master’s thesis on (genetic and) epigenetic sex determination in the common frog.
Welcome to the team!

🐞 Welcome Puck and Felix to the lab!

We are excited to welcome Puck, our new master’s thesis student, and Felix, our new field assistant!
Puck will investigate reproductive symbionts and sex-ratio distortion in Belgian ladybirds, while Felix brings his expertise in entomology and ladybird identification to support our fieldwork and research on sex-altering endoparasites.
Welcome aboard, Puck and Felix!
