Since 2017, I am committed to a policy of posting all our work as preprints on bioRxiv, just before journal submission. For more information on the use of preprints, have a look at our ASAPbio page.

 

Below is a list of my favorite and most(ly) recent publications. We publish all our work following an open access model, but have provided pdf links below for convenience.
