Biography
From the very beginning of my studies, I have been trying to understand the evolution of sex chromosomes across invertebrate and vertebrate taxa. Now, my postdoctoral research is focused on the Y chromosomes of primates. Using comparative genomics tools I am trying to answer important questions linked to the male heterogamety of our closest relatives.
