We are a research group investigating viruses and other microbes across plants, invertebrates and diverse environmental samples, combining cutting edge molecular approaches, bioinformatics and classical microbiology to understand their diversity, evolution and epidemiology. We strive for an open, collaborative and inclusive research environment with a horizontal team structure that values the strengths of all members. Driven by curiosity and societal responsibility, we connect fundamental biology with real‑world diagnostics and environmental surveillance to generate impactful knowledge.
