Mario Dos Reis Barros

Dr. Mario Dos Reis Barros is a Reader in Statistical Phylogenetics at Queen Mary University of London, affiliated with the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences. His research focuses on developing statistical methods for understanding species evolution, including divergence time estimation and genomic data analysis.

Education:

• Bachelor's in Biology from Universidad Simón Bolívar (Venezuela)
• MSc in Bioinformatics from Birkbeck College, London
• PhD in Molecular Evolution from Birkbeck College, London

Research interests include Bayesian statistical methods, molecular evolution, and phylogenetic analysis. Notable contributions include the development of methodologies for integrating morphological and genomic data to reconstruct evolutionary histories.

Grants and collaborations involve work with the Francis Crick Institute, University College London, and the Natural History Museum. His lab (dosReis Lab) maintains the mcmc3r R package for phylogenetic analysis.
