Congratulations to Dr Yoan Coudert, who has been awarded a fellowship to
start his own group at the Institute of Systematics, Evolution and Biodiversity
in the Natural History Museum, Paris.
Yoan’s work will build on his postdoctoral
work on the mechanistic basis of branching in Physcomitrella (Coudert et al. 2015) to test the hypothesis that
the evolution of branching forms in mosses was underpinned by changes in
hormonal cue synthesis, transport and sensitivity.
He will use a multi-disciplinary
approach combining character evolution reconstruction, computational modelling
and developmental genetics to identify the molecular mechanisms underpinning
key architectural transitions.
