Qiaowei Pan

Qiaowei Pan is a Researcher at the University of Lausanne, focusing on Evolution and Ecology. They have held a Guest Researcher role at the Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB) in Mainz, Germany since 2023, and a Postdoctoral Researcher position at the University of Lausanne since 2018.

• Education:
  • PhD in Molecular and Evolutionary Biology (2014-2018), INRAe, University of Rennes II, France
  • Erasmus Mundus Master in Evolutionary Biology (MEME) (2012-2014), University of Groningen (Netherlands) & University of Montpellier II (France)
  • BSc in Biology (2008-2012), University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, USA

Research Interests: Qiaowei Pan's work centers on the intersection of molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, and developmental biology, particularly in sex determination mechanisms across diverse animal models. Their studies span non-coding RNA regulation, sex chromosome evolution, and signal transduction pathways like TGF-β in reproductive systems.

Publication Trends: Recent articles highlight expertise in sex determination systems (5/12 publications), genomic approaches (6/12), and fish developmental evolution. Collaborative work includes computational methods (RADSex workflow) and comparative studies across ant, goldfish, catfish, and cavefish models.

Labs & Teams: Currently affiliated with the Keller-Valsecchi group at IMB and the Department of Evolution and Ecology at the University of Lausanne.
