Unique molecular features of protists
My group is interested in unique cell and molecular features of protists (i.e. unicellular eukaryotes), mostly those belonging to the supergroup Discoba. Large part of my research is also related to evolution and diversity of both free-living and parasitic protists, with particular focus on trypanosomes.
