The Institute of Ecology & Evolution at the University of Bern is devoted to research and teaching in all aspects of ecology and evolution, and aim to provide a scientific basis for the understanding and preservation of our living world. We study the mechanisms by which organisms respond to and interact with their environment, including phenotypic responses at individual level, change in gene frequencies at population level, change in species composition and abundance at community level, and the functioning of whole ecosystems. The institute has core research facilities, including several different field stations in Switzerland, extensive aquarium and animal husbandry facilities, and state-of-the-art molecular genetics laboratories.

They both presented their work as part of the seminar Lecture Series in Ecology and Evolution on November, 20th, 2018. The board of directors congratulates them for their success and whishes them all the best for their upcoming scientific career.

Katie is a geneticist with interests in the genetic and genomic changes that underlie phenotypic evolution, including adaptation, sex chromosome evolution, behaviour and speciation.

Before joining the IEE, Katie led a research group at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle for many years, and she was an affiliate professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. In Bern Katie will continue this line of research. She is the successor of Heinz Richner who retired last year. Welcome Katie! IEE 02.08.16 29.03.16 14.03.16 01.03.16 03.02.16 26.01.16 05.12.15.
