Thesis projects
The Lab of Genetics offers a broad range of excellent MSc Thesis or Internship topics, mostly embedded in current state-of-the-art research programs.
Our research
The Laboratory of Genetics investigates causes and consequences of natural genetic variation within species. Because genetic variation plays an essential role in ecological and evolutionary processes, we ask ecologically and evolutionary motivated research questions. We use a wide array of model organisms, ranging from bacteria, fungi, plants and insects.
