My work focuses on the interplay between the organisation of genomes arising by the chromosomal interactions of cellular processes and the recombination processes generating adaptive genetic variation. Genetic elements tend to be organized in […]
I have concentrated my past and current work on three main research topics: (i) the genetic history of human populations with distinct modes of subsistence, (ii) the role of admixture in genetic adaptation, and […]
Dr. Gerald Späth currently holds a Research Director position at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, where he directs the Unit ‘Parasitologie moléculaire et Signalisation’ (12 members) and the Department ‘Parasites and Insect Vectors’ (ca. […]

After a Master in plant biology, I obtained my Ph.D in human genetics to study mitochondrial diseases. I studied the fate of mtDNA deletions and identified the first mutations of the Krebs cycle (FH) […]
The Neuroscience Department is a basic research department with a diverse portfolio of research programs and approaches ideally suited for the 21st century challenge of understanding normal and diseased brain function. The Department provides […]
The Parasites and Insect Vectors Department investigates the life cycle of parasites and their vectors. This research addresses global public health concerns and tackles the ongoing need for better prevention, control, and treatment. The department […]
The teams of the department Genomes & Genetics are interested by questions related to gene regulation and evolutionary dynamics, including: Replication fidelity. Quality control of gene expression. Genetic diversity of populations and its impact […]
