Research Interests
The aim of our research is to understand how eukaryotic cellular complexity -which encompasses plants, animals, fungi and a vast diversity of microbial forms called protists- arose and diversified. To do this, we use phylogenomic approaches combined with cell and molecular experiments. Our team currently work on three major themes.
