(1/3) I am very happy to share that I’ll be moving to Aarhus University as an Assistant Professor in March. During these years, I’ve met so many great people who supported me on this path, and even if I can’t name everyone here, I’m truly grateful to all of you!

Moisès Bernabéu from the group presented our work on the origins of the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor at #sesbe2026. Multiple interacting partners shaped our ancestor’s genome

Now Edu Ocaña Pallarès, previous postdoc in the group, now PI at UOC presenting the timetree of fungi, calibrated with fossils and HGT. Nice to see #fungi at the paleobiology session in #sesbe2026

Several of us are attending #sesbe2026 in Valencia. Today Saioa Manzano @microbiobits.bsky.social presented her work on evolution of Asgard archea genomes, showing they show a blend of eukaryotic-like and prokaryotic like processes.

Shocked and sad after reading that Peer Bork has passed away. A pioneer and inspiring leader in bioinformatics applied to comparative genomics, protein evolution, function prediction, microbiome, and many other relevant biological questions. His legacy will remain.
