Short curriculum vitae
My overarching career goal is to elevate the impact of genomics as a key tool in species conservation and biodiversity protection. I am a driven genomicist with expertise in leveraging genomics for understanding evolutionary patterns. My research group comprises a multidisciplinary team developing and applying genomic methods for non-model species. I helped establish large endeavours in biodiversity genomics, such as the Berlin Center for Genomics in Biodiversity Research (BeGenDiv), which I co-lead, and the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) consortium. I am also commited to training the next generation of biodiversity genomicists and to connect my research to society.
