In recent years, many ecosystems have been endangered by the introduction of invasive species, which disrupt the natural balance with consequences for biodiversity, public health, agriculture, and livestock farming.
AniMEE lab (Animal Molecular Ecology and Evolution laboratory) aims to investigate these dynamics through integrated approaches including population genetics, metagenomics, genomics, transcriptomics, computational structural biology and biostatistics.
The goal is to understand the evolutionary dynamics and environmental interactions of animal species, in order to develop effective and sustainable strategies that protect native species, human activities, and public health—without compromising the natural stability of ecosystems.
