Christoph Winkler

Christoph Winkler serves as a Researcher in the Department of Fish Biology, Fisheries and Aquaculture at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) in Berlin, Germany, where he contributes to the Genetics and Evolution of Fish (and other Vertebrates) research group.

His scientific focus spans:

• Fish Genetics: Molecular mechanisms and inheritance patterns in aquatic species
• Evolutionary Biology: Adaptive processes and speciation in freshwater ecosystems
• Aquaculture: Sustainable breeding and production systems
• Fisheries Science: Resource management and conservation strategies
• Vertebrate Evolution: Comparative genomic approaches across taxonomic groups

Dr. Winkler's work integrates genetic and evolutionary perspectives to address biodiversity challenges in aquatic environments, utilizing the IGB's experimental facilities at Müggelseedamm 301 for laboratory and field investigations.
