A main focus is the moss, Physcomitrium (previously Physcomitrella) patens.
Methods encompass molecular and cellular biology, phylogeny, phylogenomics and comparative genomics.
We are interested in gene regulatory networks and in unraveling early plant evolution.
To that end, we have focused over the past decade on streptophyte algae and streptophyte evolution.
