Virus Genomics und Evolution

_{Our laboratory is directing its research efforts towards elucidating the intricate interplay between hosts and viral pathogens. To achieve this, we employ a synergistic approach that integrates metagenomics/metatranscriptomics, fieldwork, and computational biology within extensive cross-disciplinary international partnerships. Our investigations center on unraveling the mechanisms underlying the emergence, ecology, spread pattern, and evolutionary dynamics of both novel and known viruses.}
