We investigate how genetic information is encoded, transmitted, and interpreted across biological systems. Our work integrates genomics, environmental DNA, and molecular biology to understand how complex traits emerge, interact, and evolve across biological scales.

Research Areas
1) Genome Evolution and Complex Traits
We investigate how genomes give rise to complex biological traits by combining high-quality genome assembly with comparative and evolutionary analysis, including work on plant carnivory.
2) Biological Interactions and Environmental Signals
We study how genetic signals move between organisms and environments, integrating plant–microbiome systems with environmental DNA to understand how biological interactions are encoded and detected.
3) Viral and Targeted Genomics
We develop targeted sequencing and computational approaches to study human viruses and related systems, enabling high-resolution detection, genome reconstruction, and evolutionary analysis.
4) RNA Dynamics in Single Cells
We explore how RNA transport, localization, and stability shape cellular organization using Acetabularia acetabulum as a model for RNA-driven structure and function.
