I am interested in applications of molecular evolution to the fields of viral epidemiology and public health. Currently I am expanding my research into the evolution of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). The two fields have much in common: they both deal with viral genomics and there is a qualitative resemblance between the emergence of a viral epidemic and the genomic proliferation of an endogenous virus. I hope that these similarities will result in synergies of methods and results.

I am a Medical Doctor qualified with a Certificate for Completion of Training in Polyvalent Biopathology (Medical Microbiology and Virology).

I have been elected the Emanoel Lee Junior Research Fellow at St.Cross College for the period 2011-2014.
