I'm interested on how biological interactions among basic units can evolve into higher-level hierarchical structures, such as in the evolution of multicellular organisms from unicellular ancestors. This conceptual framework is known as the major evolutionary transitions, and is the main topic of my research, in which I use experiments (experimental evolution with baker's yeast) and theoretical models.
