- Uncovering the role of plasmid transmission and horizontal gene transfer in the spread of clinically concerning traits.

The Evolutionary Epidemiology group, led by Sonja Lehtinen, is a friendly, growing team, soon to be based at University of Lausanne’s Computational Biology Department. We are mostly focused on theory and computation, working with existing genomic and epidemiological datasets, as well as running our own sampling studies. We are affiliated with the NCCR Microbiomes, providing fantastic opportunities for collaborations with experimental, clinical and other modelling groups.

We’re looking for curious, collaborative and thoughtful researchers. If you like our papers, we want to hear from you
