The lab studies how genome mobility drives adaptation in plant-pathogenic fungi.
We focus on mobile and structurally dynamic genomic regions that extend evolutionary potential beyond classical recombination.
By integrating molecular genetics, chromatin biology, and evolutionary genomics, we examine how genome architecture itself becomes an active force in adaptation.
Our goal is to understand how pathogens emerge and diversify, and to anticipate their evolutionary trajectories in agricultural systems.
