Apply for the ESEB Conference Travel Award 2026 to attend EMPSEB or the Evolution meeting. Open to students in low GDP countries. Deadline: Jan 30, 2026. Details: https://empsebconf.github.io/
Conference season comes to an end with this last one in beautiful Cádiz, Spain 🇪🇸 A large international meeting made possible thanks to EU short-term mobility grant by SEA-EU (The European University of the Seas). A perfect finale under the sunny skies of southern Spain ☀️🌊
Just wrapped up an amazing visit at @isemevol.bsky.social with an EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant! Thanks to @embo.org and to fantastic team here for welcoming me. This let me start a new collaboration on a very exiting project, and it has been an incredible experience. Stay tuned for more updates!
Does population size shape protein coevolution?
I explored this in my talk today at the MPI for Evolutionary Biology.
Our work in mammals suggests the answer is yes - genetic drift is a major determinant of compensatory mutations.

Please come and see Jinyang’s purr-fectly interesting talk at the #ESEB2025 the coming Thursday 3:45 PM (Meeting Room 116) on Polarizing SNPs without outgroup.
(I won’t be there, busy.)

Just wrapped up an amazing time at #EMPSEB30. A truly unique event by PhD students, for PhD students packed with insightful talks and outstanding networking with future colleagues. If you’re a PhD student in evo-bio, this is the meeting you don’t want to miss! #EMPSEB30 #EvolutionaryBiology
Really enjoyed being at Biology of Genomes 2025: great science, great people, and great feedback on my work! Also cool and interesting to learn how academic systems differ across countries. #BoG25
TE-driven genomic plasticity shapes resistance evolution and CYP51 expression spikes in TE-containing strains 🧬🧬 (3)
Using a novel experimental evolution framework, we also track the dynamic TE expansions/contractions under fungicide pressure (!!!a net change of 187 TEs within only ten generations!!!) 🧫🧫🧫 (2)
It is finally out! Fungal genomes, transposable elements and fungicide resistance: unlocked!
