Research program
The research program is divided into three fields (medicine, food production and wildlife conservation), in which evolutionary processes are central to current problems of societal concern and which are studied across seven tandem projects (below).
Tandem Project 1
Evolutionary management of harvested populations
Tandem Project 2
Evolution of crop associated pathogens: implications for plant breeding and disease control
Tandem Project 3
Evolution and spread of plasmid borne antibiotic resistance
Tandem Project 4
The evolution of human pathogens under antibiotic therapy
Tandem Project 5
Characterizing trade-offs of the human FUT2 gene for improvement of gut health
Tandem Project 6
Evolution of key life history events – the sex-specific link between fertility, pregnancy and longevity
Tandem Project 7
