Research
Using yeast as a primary model, I study how organisms adapt to environmental change and what cell–cell interactions emerge in the process. By combining experimental biology with computational and theoretical biology, I aim to uncover universal principles of living systems.
Biology of yeast and microbial communities
I investigate the interactions that arise within cell populations and the dynamics of environmental adaptation, focusing on how the behavior of individual cells shapes the properties of the community as a whole.
Induced genome recombination and DNA rearrangement
Using methods that artificially induce genome rearrangement, I explore the underlying mechanisms and potential applications, and how genome plasticity affects the cell.
Chromosome structure and epigenetics
I study how higher-order chromosome structure and epigenetic regulation relate to gene expression and cellular properties.
