We are a research lab - situated in Brussels (Belgium) - that is mainly working on the reconstruction of different aspects of amphibian evolution. We tackle multiple kind of questions using modern integrative biology, combining fieldwork and biological assays with lab expertise in transcriptomics, proteomics, genomics and phylogenetics. Our current research can be divided in three distinct, but often closely intertwined themes:
