I am working in the long-term project of spotted hyaenas in the Serengeti which covers questions of behavioural adaptations, evolutionary ecology and molecular epidemiology of pathogens. I have applied the following methods to tackle and solve some of the questions:
- Genotyping (Microsatellites)
- Paternity analysis
- Molecular epidemiology of carnivore pathogens / Molecular techniques (PCR, rt-PCR, Sanger sequencing)
- Sexing
- Access Array system (48.48) for Illumina Sequencing
- Immunology (ELISA test)
