Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMario Dos Reis is a Reader in Statistical Phylogenetics based in London with nine years of focused academic experience and a long track record studying molecular evolution. He develops and applies statistical and computational methods to infer phylogenies, estimate species divergence times, and detect natural selection from sequence data, with a strong background in viral evolution and codon usage bias. Having progressed from research technician to senior academic roles at UCL and Queen Mary University of London, he combines deep theoretical training (PhD in Molecular Evolution) with practical teaching in human genetics and genomics. His work bridges Bayesian methods and real-world evolutionary questions, often targeting fast-evolving systems like influenza and other viruses. Colleagues describe him as equally at home designing models and mentoring students across international programmes, reflecting a rare mix of methodological rigor and applied biological insight.
