Functional and comparative multiomics
For over 500 million years, evolution has shaped animal species, resulting in a vast array of unique traits and molecular configurations. Studying these configurations helps us better understand how different species respond to common survival challenges, such as infectious diseases, genetic disorders, aging, and extreme environmental conditions. Our team integrates cutting-edge “omics” technologies with computational methods to explore evolutionary changes in different animal lineages, focusing on genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic layers. By building this molecular framework, we aim to guide the development of better strategies for promoting human, animal, and biodiversity health.
