Hi everyone! My name is Esther and I’m a new Ph.D. student in Fredric Carlsson’s group where we are looking at mycobacterial interactions with macrophages. Our aim is to gain insights into the disease pathogenesis of tuberculosis. I have a master’s degree in biomedicine (Lund University) and my current project will be an extension from my one year master’s project … Läs mer →

Hello, my name is Colin Olito, and I am a new postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Jessica K. Abbott’s group. I was born and raised in Alaska, but my academic life has taken me, and my family, around the world. Although I have a background in evolutionary ecology, I underwent a bit of a metamorphosis into a theoretical population geneticist during … Läs mer →

Hi! Some of you might recognise me from my many stays here during my PhD with my suitcase full of flies. However, I’ll be here more permanently this time as a postdoc with Jessica Abbott continuing the work from my PhD. I did my PhD with Ted Morrow at University of Sussex with the main focus on sexual antagonism and … Läs mer →

Hej, I’m Rebecca (but please call me Bec) and I’m a new postdoc working with Martin N. Andersson in the Pheromone Group. I just moved to Lund from the Sunshine Coast in Australia. Last year I finished my PhD at the University of the Sunshine Coast, where I studied olfactory receptors in the Crown-of-thorns starfish, which is a major pest … Läs mer →

Hej, I am a new postdoc fellow in Tobias Uller’s group. Despite the Scandinavian last name, I am originally from Australia and hardly speak a word of Swedish! I recently completed my PhD in the Marine Evolutionary Ecology Group at Monash University in Melbourne. My PhD work combined life-history and metabolic theories, where I worked on maternal energy investment strategies … Läs mer →

I am a 32 years old postdoctoral researcher and did my PhD in the Natural History Museum of Madrid (MNCN, CSIC) on the mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation in the Iberian wall lizard species complex (Podarcis hispanicus). I am both a field and lab person whose previous work has focused on reptiles, and lizards in particular. Currently, I am working with … Läs mer →

Hi! My name is Masahito Tsuboi. In the coming few years, I will be part of the Biology Department at Lund University (LU), studying the evolution of wing morphology in two insect lineages, the family Drosophilidae and the order Odonata, with Erik Svensson at LU and Thomas Hansen at University of Oslo. Personally, I think comparative studies are fascinating because … Läs mer →

Hi everyone, I am Janne and will be working here the coming years as a postdoc. Together with Bengt Hansson I will be studying the factors that lead to genomic divergence between closely related and hybridizing damselfly species of the Ischnura genus. During and after my PhD at the University of Leuven (Belgium) I studied the evolutionary processes during range … Läs mer →

Hi everyone! I am now back in Lund after a three year postdoc in Trondheim at NTNU, where I worked on evolvability of sexual dimorphism and consequences of sex on pace-of-life syndromes. I am an evolutionary ecologist with a focus on the genetic architecture and evolutionary dynamics of wild animal populations. I will now continue working on my favourite study … Läs mer →
