HiLIFE Webinar: Sasha Mikheyev
Sasha was born in Russia, but lived in the USA since his teenage years, ultimately moving to Japan after graduate school. Now, he is about to receive his Australian citizenship. Over the past decade he has worked on a wide variety of study systems, ranging from bees to snakes, with a general theme of understanding the molecular origin of adaptations. He is particularly fond of looking at rapid evolutionary events we can see in our lifetime, such as biological invasions, or various kinds of pests.
Welcome to this exciting seminar!
Claire Morandin and Benjamin Weigel
If anyone would like to meet Sasha, please contact Benjamin to arrange a meeting.
