People

Simone Immler – PI
Simone is Professor of Genetics and Reproduction and is interested in all aspects of evolution, genetics and reproduction.

Michael Scott – Affiliated Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Mike uses theoretical and empirical approaches to study the consequences of haploid selection for mating system evolution and beyond.

Alice is looking for signs of haploid selection in the genome of zebrafish.

Marco Graziano – Postdoctoral Researcher
Marco is studying the role of haploid selection in the interaction between male and female gametes.

Jayme Cohen – PhD Student
Jayme is interested in mechansisms that enable the maintenance of genetic variation in genes expressed at the haploid stage.

Sara Irish – PhD Student (co-supervised with Alexei Maklakov, UEA) Sara is interested in exploring the reasons behind why ageing has evolved by combining both experimental and field research techniques in C. elegans.
