Research Interests
My current lines of research is on understanding the evolution of segmental duplications along the primate lineage. However, I am also interested in the process of recombination and during my PhD I was working on the understanding of the effect of chromosomal rearrangements over evolutionary rates in primates (specially centered on speciation).
Favorite Quotes
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no
sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
