About me
My name is Britta Meyer and I am an evolutionary biologist. My main interest is in the field of biodiversity research and evolution applying methods from phylogenetics, molecular evolution, population genomics and epigenomics. At the university of Hamburg I started my studies in zoology, biochemistry and conservation. Here I listed some of my professional steps afterwards. If you would like to get my full CV, please drop me a mail.
