ESR Project 1: Phylogenomics of non-bilaterian animals
Supervisor: Gert Wörheide (LMU Munich), Co-supervisor Davide Pisani (University of Bristol) Student: Ksenia Juravel Objectives: The phylogenetic relationships among non-bilaterian animals are still not unequivocally accepted but their... show more
ESR Project 6: Comparative and functional genomics of oogenesis and animal-vegetal axis specification of animals
Supervisor: Andreas Hejnol (University of Bergen), Co-supervisor Davide Pisani (EMBL Heidelberg) Student: Ferenc Tibor Kagan Objectives: The animal vegetal axis of the fertilized egg is the first embryonic axis (primary axis) around which ... show more
ESR Project 8: Ecdysozoa as a model system to test early animal evolution
Supervisor: Davide Pisani (University of Bristol), Co-supervisor Max Telford (UCL, London) Student: Mattia Giacomelli Objectives: The "Cambrian explosion" (~ 520 millions of year ago, MA) is the fossil signature of the radiation of bi... show more
ESR Project 12: Comparative genomics and phylogenetics of the Deuterostomes
Supervisor: Max Telford (UC London), Co-supervisor Davide Pisani (University of Bristol) Student: Paschalis Natsidis Objectives: The Deuterostomes are one of the two major branches of bilaterian animals and are of particular interest to hu... show more
