BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
Professor of molecular cell biology at Uppsala University since 1994.
For CV and complete list of publications, see http://www.anst.uu.se/dla05000/
Research interests:
- Evolution of vertebrate genes involved in learning and long-term memory, with special focus on zebrafish.
- Evolution of vertebrate genes involved in vision, with special focus on zebrafish.
- Evolution of gene families in vertebrates, particularly neuronal and endocrine gene families such as peptide genes, receptor genes, ion channels, etc.
