معرفی
Sandra Baldauf is a Professor at the Department of Organismal Biology; Systematic Biology at Uppsala University. Her research focuses on evolutionary biology, genomics, and phylogenetics, particularly in understanding eukaryotic origins, microbial diversity, and molecular evolution. She has contributed significantly to studies of slime molds (Dictyostelids), mitochondrial genetics, and the reconstruction of the eukaryote tree of life.
Her work bridges genomic analysis with organismal biology, using molecular tools to explore evolutionary relationships and genetic mechanisms across diverse taxa. Key areas include the study of horizontal gene transfer, phylogenetic methodology, and the role of natural products in parasitology.
Recent publications highlight her contributions to resolving the eukaryote root, analyzing acaricidal plant oils, and discovering new species of social amoebae. Her research emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining fieldwork, genomic sequencing, and computational biology.
Awards and grants are not explicitly mentioned in the provided text, though her high citation count and international collaborations suggest significant recognition. She advises students through her research activities, though specific names are not listed here.
