Trine is an evolutionary biologist interested in understanding how organisms adapt and respond to global change, and how population history and life history interact with environmental factors to shape the genetic diversity and structure of populations. She studies interactions between life history, demography and environment on phenotypic variation and the genetic composition of populations.

Dan’s research aims to understand the causes and consequences of among individual differences in the ageing process. The deterioration of physiological function with age (or senescence), although seemingly inevitable, is one of the most complex, variable and poorly understood of biological processes. Why do some individuals remain healthy and live to a ripe old age, whilst others deteriorate and die much sooner?
