I will take advantage of this opportunity to introduce the research line I would like to carry out in the next years, instead of talking about my previous work. So, I would like to see if I can get some feedback on some of the points that I will bring up. The computational biology lab (https://fortunalab.org) I have started to set up will work on the idea of harnessing evolution. That is, to what extent we can control the evolutionary trajectories of populations towards desired states. I think our background as ecologists and evolutionary biologists might place us in the right track to apply this idea into biomedicine.
