Biography
Ma Wenjuan is working as Faculty of Biology and Medicine in Department of Ecology and Evolution at University of Lausanne.
Research Interest
I am broadly interested in evolutionary biology, in particular topics such as sex determination, sex chromosome, reproductive system etc. During the PhD, I investigated evolutionary genetics of sex determination and parthenogenesis in haplodiploid wasps. Currently, I investigate the evolutionary genomics of sex determination and young sex chromosomes in two highly divergent lineages: the frog system Rana and the plant system Mercurialis.
