DBC News is a monthly publication that seeks to inform first and foremost faculty members, researchers and students. It also reaches out to a wider community - Department of Computational Biology partners, visiting faculty and friends.
|
Alongside the Department's website it is a complementary means of keeping abreast of the Department's rich and diversified scientific activities - visiting faculty, exceptional conferences, publications, awards, appointments, calls for papers and research, ...

Dr. Lehtinen is joining the DBC as a Tenure-track assistant professor.
|
My group is interested in how ecological and evolutionary mechanisms shape the structure and diversity of bacterial populations and, in particular, the dynamics of public health relevant traits, such as antibiotic resistance.
|
We use mathematical and statistical modelling, and genomic and surveillance data - both publicly available and collected as part of our own studies - to develop evolutionary and epidemiological insights. We focus on species that share a similar lifestyle: mostly commensal but occasionally pathogenic (e.g. Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli) and of high clinical relevance.
|
Before my arrival here, I was an SNF PRIMA group leader at ETH Zürich. Outside of work, I enjoy running, hiking, cold water swimming and improv theatre.

Reconstructing the human past: using ancient and modern genomics - September 17-20th
|
Combining genome-wide data from ancient and modern populations opens new windows into the past and, importantly, their integration with archaeological evidence and historical records elucidates aspects of human history and cultural evolution of past societies. Learn more

The astonishing clownfish
|
Clownfish evolution is so extraordinary that it can only be described with the voice of David Attenborough. The group Salamin is studying their genomes and running computer simulations to try to understand their evolution.
