Sebastian Kittelmann

Sebastian Kittelmann is a Research Fellow at the School of Biological and Medical Sciences, Oxford Brookes University. His work focuses on transcriptional regulation, developmental biology, and evolutionary genetics using Drosophila and Tribolium as model systems. Methodologies include next-generation sequencing, molecular biology, and genetic analysis.
