Welcome
We are in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Our research interests are related with molecular biology and evolution of eukaryotes and their genomes. In particular, we are interested in studying how genomes and cells evolve as a result of radical changes in lifestyle such as the acquisition of parasitic and symbiotic relationships. Our research is almost exclusively done on protists (unicellular eukaryotes) as they represent the bulk of the eukaryotic diversity.
