About
Dr. Anne-Lyse Roulin is a part-time researcher at the University of Lausanne, affiliated with the Faculty of Biology and Medicine and the Department of Ecology and Evolution. She is a core member of the Roulin Group, focusing on the interplay between molecular and evolutionary biology to investigate pleiotropy and epistasis in phenotypic correlations.
- Education:
- PhD in Molecular Biology (2002), University of Lausanne, Swiss Institute of Experimental Cancer Research
- Master of Science in Biochemistry (1997), University of Bern
- Bachelor in Biology (1993), University of Bern
Research Interests: Her work integrates molecular mechanisms and evolutionary theory to understand how genetic factors like pleiotropy and epistasis shape phenotypic traits. She specializes in melanin-based coloration polymorphism in barn owls, linking pigment patterns to physiological stress responses, immune function, and behavioral strategies. Her research also explores how ecological pressures interact with genetic determinants of traits.
Scientific Awards: No specific awards mentioned in the text.
Collaborative Networks: She collaborates with the Roulin Group, which investigates evolutionary biology, host-parasite interactions, and behavioral ecology in barn owls and other avian species.
