Welcome to the Goffinet Lab! 
The research interests in this lab cross organismal lines with projects focusing on liverworts, hornworts, mosses or lichen-forming fungi and span the fields of floristics and phylogeography, systematics and phylogeny, genome evolution and developmental biology.
Keep navigating in these pages to learn more about the biology of the citizens of the miniature forests!
