    Research    
 
Oliver completed his Diplom in Biology at the University of Düsseldorf. His background is in microbiology and bioinformatics. Oliver's Ph.D. project focusses on the identification of cyanobacterial genes in plants and algae and thus estimating the ammount of endosymbiotic gene transfer (EGT) during the evolution of plastids. Furthermore, he is interested in methodical artefacts that can lead to an over- or underestimation of EGT (or bias results from large-scale phylogenies in general).
