Simone Immler, PI
Simone is interested in all biological aspects of sexual reproduction in a wide range of organisms and employs theoretical, comparative, experimental and genomics tools to address the many questions that are still unanswered.
Berrit Kiehl, PhD student
Berrit is combining experimental work with RNAseq to study small RNAs in the zebrafish, Drosophila and the ocellated wrasse.
Ghazal Alavioon, postdoctoral researcher
Ghazal is running experiments in zebrafish and humans in order to improve our understanding of haploid selection in predominantly diploid organisms.
Andreas Sutter, postdoctoral researcher (NERC)
Andreas is working on the role of gamete selection in adaptation to changing environments.
David Murray, research assistant
David is involved in a collaborative project with the lab of Alexei Maklakov to study reproduction and ageing in zebrafish.
Jean-Charles (Johnny) de Coriolis – research assistant (NERC)
Johnny makes sure, all the fish are healthy and happy and assists with the various projects running in the lab.
Mabel Sydney – PhD student (ARIES DTP)
Mabel is looking at understanding the role of gametic selection in adaptation to a changing environment and trying to disentangle genetic from epigenetic effects.
Daniel Marcu – PhD student (NRP DTP)
Daniel is interested in identifying genes under haploid gametic selection.
