Principal Investigator  top

    Dr. Kissinger is interested in parasite genomics and the biology of genome evolution. Her research focuses on, but is not limited to, Apicomplexan parasites.
    Our approach is to apply molecular, computational and phylogenetic tools to the analysis of parasite genomes. Projects include the development of tools for data mining, comparative genomics and assessing the phylogenetic distribution of genes.
    I welcome students interested in working on the bench, at the computer, or both.
