I am interested in how natural selection has shaped genetic and phenotypic variation within and between species. I am particularly enthusiastic about questions related to gene-by-environment interactions. How has the response to environmental perturbations evolved? What are the underlying gene regulatory mechanisms and causal genetic variants?…

My research interest lies in Nutritional Genomics, an interdisciplinary field bridging Nutritional Sciences and Human Genomics. I am interested in identifying genetic variants that historically helped human populations adapt to local diets and currently underlie individual differences in nutrient metabolism and metabolic disease risks. In the…
