About us

Our laboratory integrates genomics, metagenomics, and bioinformatics to understand adaptive processes leading to the emergence of new habits in insect vectors and investigate how the associations between hosts and microorganisms may affect evolutionary processes and functionally contribute to the occupation of new niches. Many of these interactions play a crucial role in the maintenance of urban and natural ecosystems and impact human and animal health. Currently, our lines of research address the genomics and evolution of parasitic and necrophagous flies, the microbiomes of synanthropic insect vectors, and environmental metagenomics.
