My main research interest consists in studying evolutionary processes and genetic mechanisms underlying adaptation, genome evolution and diversity. I use fungi as study system.

My current research projects consist in investigating the evolution of fungal mating-type chromosomes, that show large non-recombining regions in some species and are great models to study new hypothesis for the evolution of sex chromosomes and recombination suppression in general. I am also interested in the genetic basis of host specialization, local adaptation and population divergence in fungi, focusing in particular in the role of chromosomal rearrangements in these processes.
