Personal profile
Research interests
His research group studies the evolutionary patterns of genes that are associated with diseases in humans. In particular, research interests are associated with understanding functional diversity and its origin. To meet these objectives, the group uses public databases where complete genome sequences are found, as well as experimental approaches in the laboratory.
