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)
