Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Lequime is a tenured assistant professor and head of the Virus Ecology and Evolution group at the University of Groningen, specializing in the genomics and evolutionary dynamics of RNA viruses across hosts and ecological scales. With eight years of research experience spanning Institut Pasteur, KU Leuven, and a background in pharmacy and virology, he combines wet-lab insight with computational phylogenetics to trace virus transmission from within-host processes to epidemics. He also serves as Data Editor for the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, ensuring reproducible, well-documented data sharing in evolutionary research. His work spans organisms from unicellular eukaryotes to whales, reflecting an uncommon breadth that links deep evolutionary history to contemporary outbreak dynamics. Trained at École normale supérieure and Paris VI with a PhD in Virology, he brings both rigorous theoretical grounding and practical public-health–relevant experience in viral ecology.
