Welcome Marina and Sarah!

Marina (left) is a Mathematics PhD student working in the laboratory of Lars Arvestad where she studies the evolution of exon duplication. At ELSI, she will explore the consequences of exon duplication from the perspective of protein structure evolution.

Sarah (right) is a Bioinformatics PhD student working in the laboratory of Peter Stadler where she develops methods for RNA structure prediction. At ELSI, she will study the forces that drive protein sequence convergence between distantly related species.
