Vladi is sharing his work between the Bioinformatics Solution Center and the AG Nowick. Within these groups, he is interested in: the evolution and specific functions of gene regulatory factors in primates, random monoallelic expression of genes in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, and human genetic diseases in general, but also in some not so related themes like rodent phylogeny or variation of relatedness within macaque communities.
