معرفی
Macarena Toll Riera serves as a Visiting Professor in Evolutionary Biology at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, affiliated with the Institute of Integrative Biology (Institut für Integrative Biologie). Her research focuses on microbial adaptation and evolutionary dynamics within controlled experimental environments.
Her primary research domains span Evolutionary Biology and Microbiology, with specific emphasis on microbial evolution mechanisms. She employs experimental evolution techniques to investigate genetic and phenotypic changes in bacterial populations under selective pressures, bridging theoretical evolutionary models with empirical laboratory validation.
She leads the Evolutionary Microbiology Laboratory (evomicrobio.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich, where her team conducts longitudinal studies on adaptation trajectories in microbial systems using genomic and phenotypic analysis tools.
