I am a graduate student currently using genetic and molecular techniques to investigate the evolutionary history and underpinnings of regeneration. I use cnidarians as model system. While my wetlab and molecular techniques are used in Hydra vulgaris, I use bioinformatic tools to investigate other cnidarian species in a comparative framework
I'm currently working on --- 🔭
✢ characterizing TE content and diversity in Medusozoan species ✢ characterizing TE activity in the regenerating Hydra
Some tools and platforms I use --- 🔧
✢ python ✢ BLAST ✢ RepeatModeler
