My main field of research is conservation genetics that studies the consequences of habitat fragmentation and particularly the accompanying genetic process of genetic drift, which causes loss of fitness (inbreeding depression) and loss of genetic variation. The main question addressed is how this so called process of genetic erosion affects the adaptability and persistence of small fragmented populations of endangered species. This includes both applied aspects, studying the genetic structures of endangered species in their natural habitat, and more fundamental aspects by doing decisive experiments using Drosophila melanogaster (banana fly, vinegar fly, fruitvlieg) as model organism.

My main research focus is on microchimerism. Microchimerism is a pregnancy phenomenon where fetal cells travel towards maternal tissues and vice versa. These microchimeric cells are able to colonize host tissues and can persist lifelong. I am especially interested in the distribution, frequency and function of fetal, maternal and sibling microchimeric cells, during and after prengancy.

I have spent five years in the field of neuroscience following my research interest in seeking to understand neurodegeneration and maladaptations while studying the effect of social context in this process. My current research focuses on unravelling the interplay between sociability and social exposure on sleep and its resultant effect on cognition.

I am interested in speciation (how species form) and work at the interface between microevolutionary theory (what are the mechanisms within populations that promote divergence?) and macroevolutionary theory (what explains the long-term patterns of clade diversification?), with a particular focus on understanding macroevolution in terms of microevolutionary dynamics.

The group investigates ecological and evolutionary processes in (infectious) microbial communities. We aim to understand the genotype-phenotype-fitness relationships within (evolving) communities, and aim to elucidate the ecological drivers of evolution.
We study these eco-evolutionary processes using molecular biological tools, by performing phenotypic and growth measurements, and modeling.
By unveiling the fundamental ecological and evolutionary microbial processes in infectious disease, we hope to improve and contribute to strategies that can alleviate infectious diseases and limit the spread of antibiotic resistance.
