Hi!

I am Lisandro Milocco, an Argentinean-Finnish evolutionary biologist based in Sweden. I am currently a Post-doctoral Reseacher in the Feiner-Uller lab in Lund University.

I am fascinated by the shapes and patterns of living organisms, and want to understand how the dynamical process of development determines the ability of organisms to evolve.
