Alena di Primio
Royal Netherland Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Netherlands
Alena is currently (still) a PhD student at the Royal Netherland Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ). She studies a relatively novel group of bacteria called Woeseiales, which are globally abundant in marine sediments and water column. Her research consists of a wet lab part where she recharacterizes the growth conditions of the sole isolate, and a dry lab part where she uses genomic data to reconstruct the metabolism of a closely related group, investigate their environmental distribution and abundance, and infer their ecological role in the environment.
Janina Rinke
University of Münster, Germany
Janina is a PhD student at the University of Münster, Germany. She is interested in the evolution of social insects and particularly the impact of transposable elements on species adaptation and divergence. In the past, she has been investigating horizontal gene transfer from bacteria to ants and possible new, interesting functions of these HGTs within ants. In her research, she uses large-scale sequencing data and comparative genomics methods to tackle broad evolutionary questions.
Kartik Singhal
Washington University, St Louis, USA
Kartik is a PhD student in the Molecular Genetics and Genomics program at Washington University in St Louis, USA. He is pursuing his thesis research in Malachi Griffith and Obi Griffith’s lab where he is interested in using multi-omic techniques to better understand cancer’s interaction with the immune system. He primarily analyzes single-cell omics data and works in R and Python for his analyses.
Madeline Chase
Uppsala University, Sweden; and Swiss Ornithological Institute, Switzerland
Madeline Chase succesfully defended her PhD thesis on speciation genomics in Ficedula flycatchers. She is now starting a postdoc position in the Swiss Ornithological Institute to continue working on bird genome evolution, with focus on speciation and population genomics.
Miloš Duchoslav
Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
Miloš is doing his PhD in molecular biology of plants, focused on photosynthesis. As a postdoc, he moved to the field of ecological genomics of plants. He is studying adaptation of plants to toxic soils and parallelism in evolution.
