Research interests
I am interested in mechanisms underlying evolutionary processes, especially how the changes at the molecular level result in the shifts of phenotypes. I use Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism, addressing questions on the molecular mechanisms that lead to adaptive traits. I am currently working on mutational landscape, biological basis of statistical epistasis, functional divergence of duplicate genes, etc.
