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.
Willian Silva, PhD student
Willian is running experiments with zebrafish and develops theoretical models to improve our understanding of non-genetic inheritance.
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.
Ding He, postdoctoral researcher
Ding is developing a theoretical framework to analyse signs of haploid selection in pools of gametes
David Murray, research associate
David is involved in a collaborative project with the lab of Alexei Maklakov to study reproduction and ageing in zebrafish.
Claire Armstrong – postdoctoral researcher
Claire is performing bioinformatic analyses to identify genes under haploid selection in the zebrafish.
