If you're interested in our research but would like to be spared the mathematical details, click here to read an excellent summary of our recent work written by Yohannes Edemariam in 2007 for the magazine Seed.

NEWS:

Several postdoc positions are available at the university of Geneva, Switzerland, in Sept 2011, where I will be located next year. Click here for more details.
