My research focuses primarily on the evolution of the genome in coffee species, both wild and cultivated. To address these questions, I use comparative genomics, pangenomics, and transposable element analyses. I am particularly interested in understanding the evolution of metabolic pathways of interest within the genus Coffea, especially the pathway involved in caffeine biosynthesis.
