Research Interests
Our research focuses on the study of biodiversity, with special interests in the systematics, distribution, phylogenomics, population genomics, phylogeography and evolution of plants and fungi. Situated at the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of Geneva (CJBG), the Plant Biodiversity Centre is divided into four different laboratories, all of which using specific tools, the MorphoLab (anatomy and micromorphology), the CryptoLab (microscopy and chromatography), the GISLab (SIG-remote sensing and teledetection), and the PhyloLab (Phylogenomics and genomics). Within the CJBG, nine research groups are presently active:
Ensslin
Gautier
Naciri
Nusbaumer
Perret
Price
Stauffer
Wyler
Zamora
