Research in the lab focuses on the biodiversity, systematics, and genomics of understudied invertebrates using molecular and morphological approaches. We primarily study the worm-shaped aplacophoran molluscs and chitons, but we love invertebrates of all shapes and sizes.
In no particular order, here's some other topics/taxa we are interested in:
- Biomineralization in taxa other than molluscs
- Meiofauna
- Entoprocts
- Hemichordates
- Mesozoans
- Methods in orthology inference
- Species distribution modelling
Skills and Expertise:
- Molecular Phylogenetics
- Transcriptome Sequencing
- PCR
- Real-Time PCR
- Taxonomy
- Mollusca
- Bioinformatics
- Evolutionary Bioinformatics
- Histology
- Zoology
