My main research objective is to investigate the Y chromosome structure in human population. Which deletions or duplications are manifesting in males? What phenotypical effect might copy number variants have on the carriers and are any haplogroups enriched for certain variations?

In collaboration with other groups I also study the expression patterns of X/Y homologs in the human developing central nervous system (spinal cord, medulla oblongata and midbrain), on tissue and single cell level.
