Dr. post-doc

Anne-Lyse Ducrest

After working as a medical lab technician, I first studied biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Bern and then I completed my doctoral thesis in molecular biology at the ISREC (Institut Suisse de Recherche Expérimentale sur le Cancer). Interested in the evolutionary aspects of biology, I joined this research group for which I study the genes involved in regulating the melanin-based coloring and their possible associations with other Barn Owl characteristics. At the same time, I manage the molecular biology lab at the Dept of Ecology and Evolution.
