Frank Hailer

Postdoctoral Fellow / Center for Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics

Research Focus

My professional interests focus on conservation biology in a broad sense. With conservation genetics as a background, my research covers phylogeography, population genetics, systematics, studies of hybridization, disease, mating systems and the loss/maintenance of genetic variation, especially of endangered species.

Education and Degrees

• 2006 Ph.D. in Conservation Genetics, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
• 2001 M.S. in Biology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
