Filip Pajpach

Dr. Filip Pajpach is a Post-doctoral Researcher at the University of Adelaide's Molecular and Biomedical Science Department, located in the Molecular Life Sciences school. His work focuses on evolutionary genetics, particularly in monotremes (platypus and echidna), exploring sex chromosome evolution, meiotic segregation mechanisms, and genomic adaptations. He investigates gene expression patterns and chromosomal behavior in these unique mammals to understand broader evolutionary principles.

Key research themes include comparative genomics, chromosome dynamics, and developmental genetics. His studies on non-random meiotic segregation shed light on genetic variation mechanisms. Recent work has involved analyzing platypus and echidna genomes to uncover mammalian evolutionary pathways.

Dr. Pajpach's publications (2018-2022) emphasize genomic analysis of monotremes and arachnids, with a focus on chromosomal evolution and gene function. His research bridges molecular biology and evolutionary biology, contributing to understanding genome organization and adaptation processes.
