I am interested in the interplay between social organization and disease resistance in animal societies. I received my PhD from ETH Zurich, where I investigated the evolutionary ecology of disease transmission in a trypanosome-bumblebee system under the supervision of Paul Schmid-Hempel. During my postdoc in the group of Daniel Kronauer at the Rockefeller University, I helped establish the clonal raider ant as a model for the study of social and collective behavior. I then started an independent research group at the University Lausanne, which moved to ETH Zurich, and finally, to the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology.
