Undergraduate student
I am an undergraduate student currently pursuing a degree in
Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences. In the lab, I am helping with
a project involving genetics on the Y chromosome. I am also
interested in research about the genetics involved in reproduction.

I am interested in studying both the proximal (developmental) and
ultimate (evolutionary) causes of human genetic variation. I am
currently examining the transmission of mitochondrial heteroplasmies
in families to understand the biological processes governing
mitochondrial DNA inheritance in humans. When I’m not science-ing,
I’m drawing or re-reading The Lord of the Rings.

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.

Her lab studies mutations using both computational and experimental
approaches. Additional topics of interest include sex chromosome
evolution and genomics of childhood obesity.
