Ecological Genomics of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi

I am passionate about evolutionary biology and how organisms interact with their environment. In particular, I have a keen interest in studying local adaptation of populations in forest and alpine ecosystems. How and why the tree of life maintained complex mating systems is also a facet of biology that fascinates me. Using genomic tools and high-resolution environmental descriptors, I dedicate my research activities to improve our understanding of (co-)adaptation processes in plant-fungi symbiotic partners.

Projekte

Mycorrhiza Adaptation GenomICs

In this bilateral LabEx-SwissForestLab project, we are investigating whether the main mutualistic partners of beech forests are adapted to their local habitat and if trees and fungi form a co-adaptation complex that could confer benefits for nutrient and water supply in adverse environments.

GenDiB

Innerartliche genetische Vielfalt ist ein oft übersehener Bestandteil der Biodiversität. Deshalb erarbeitet GenDiB die Grundlagen, um eine neue Datenbank mit Daten zur genetischen Vielfalt in Populationen wildlebender Arten der Schweiz aufzubauen.

Identifying seed sources for highly adaptable oak forests in a changing climate

The international BiodivERsA project ACORN aims to identify oak populations capable to cope with future drought-stress due to climate change.

GenTree

GenTree aims at providing the European forestry sector with better knowledge, methods and tools for optimizing the management and sustainable use of forest genetic resources in Europe in the context of climate change and continuously evolving demands for forest products and services.

PiCadapt

Das SNF-Projekt PiCadapt untersucht die Variation in Genen der Arve in Bezug auf die Anpassung entlang Umweltgradienten.
