Ariadna Morales
Postdoc

Ariadna is an Evolutionary Biologist. She studies how biological diversity is generated and the mechanisms that promote repeated adaptations. To document and describe biodiversity, she aims to identify genomic regions linked to unique and reappearing traits. In the lab, she will be investigating the genomic and transcriptomic basis of bat tooth classes determination. Find more about her other projects here! https://ariadnamorales.info/

Marcela Herrera Sarrias
Postdoc

Marcela is an evo-devo scientist interested in the evolution of developmental systems. In NOVELTEETH, she investigates the developmental basis of heterodonty by building data-driven machine learning models. During her previous postdoc at OIST, she was involved in building new evo-devo model systems such as clown fishes and anemonefishes. 

Nathanaëlle Saclier
Postdoc

I am interested in the interaction between the evolution of biological traits, the evolution of the genome and the environment. My current research project at ISEM involves assessing the impact of bat diet on tooth development in multiple species using a transcriptomic approach.

Fanny Gagliardi
PhD student

Fanny investigates the origin and diversification of mammalian tooth classes using morphometrics and developmental biology approaches. She is passionate about bats and will mainly focus on them before expanding to other groups.
