Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity at the University of Oldenburg (HIFMB)

My research interests

What drives my research are the new and different insights and findings in marine animal communities that we gain with integrated approaches using traditional methods and new molecular genetic techniques. Here, I would like to contribute with my integrated research on the diversity, phylogeny and ecology of marine animals.

How is my work linked to the Beagle Channel area?

In DYNAMO, the Focus Group tests and applies molecular genetic multi-species identification methods to allow for a reliable identification of marine metazoan communities in the Beagle Channel. We are happy to realize this research to be established as observation tool in the international collaboration of DYNAMO with many supports from South American collaborators and institutions.
