Evolutionary Systems Virology Group
The Evolutionary and Systems Virology Group investigates fundamental genetic, ecological and epidemiological mechanisms driving the emergence and evolution of viruses. Our approach to viral evolution is three-fold: (1) development of mathematical and simulation models describing virus population dynamics, (2) experimental evolution of viral populations and characterization of the molecular basis of adaptation to new host species, and (3) molecular epidemiology and phylogeography of plant viruses.
