<p><strong>Evolutionary Genetics of Sexual Conflict</strong></p>

<p>I am en evolutionary biologist with a particular interest in sexual conflict - it's causes and consequences. My research group has been trying to get a more detailed&nbsp;understanding of sexual conflict at the level of individual genetic loci. Some of the question we are looking at currently are: Which genes are affected by sexually antagonistic selection? What biological processes are those genes involved in? Do sexually antagonistic genes cause disease in humans?</p>

<p>We are currently using two systems to try to answer these questions. In the lab we work with the fruit fly&nbsp;<em>Drosophila melanogaster,</em>&nbsp;for which there is such a wealth of genetic tools and knowledge. We are also using data from humans.</p>

<p>Funding for this research has come from The Royal Society (UK), The European Research Council, and the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsådet).</p>
