I am a molecular biologist and a research group leader focused on molecular biology of mitochondria. As a side I have ongoing projects in population genetics and evolutionary biology. Through my extracurricular activities, I have wide expertise on biodiversity, species identification, dogs and hunting. Previous work experience include biomedicine and forensic biology.
