Graduated in Biology, and with a MSc in Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution, my main research area is Population genetics and Conservation. Her work has been mainly focused on the assessment of the genetic status of several Tibetan wild ass (Equus kiang) groups/populations distributed across the Tibetan plateau, using a non-invasive sampling approach. At the same time she is also studying the evolution of coat color candidate genes from wild and domestic Equids.
