Evolutionary biology, genome organization and plant uses

The research interests of the group are divided in two main lines. On the one hand, we are focused on the study of the changes taking place in plant genomes, including the organization of genetic material and its biological significance, all interpreted in an evolutionary context, On the other hand, we aim to explore the traditional knowledge of plants. The IBB-CSIC group is composed by a Tenured Scientist (another CT will be incorporated in 2020, two Ramón y Cajal researchers (one will be incorporated in 2020), a post-doctoral researcher and two predoctoral ones (project). A predoctoral associate (former FPI) and a "Garantía juvenil" technician will be incorporated.The members of this group work in close collaboration with researchers at the Laboratory of Botany (CSIC-Associated Unit) of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the Universitat de Barcelona, as well as with other national and international research groups.
