Dr. Severin Uebbing

Universitair docent
Genome Biology and Epigenetics
  • Since 2023: Assistant Professor at Universiteit Utrecht, division Genome Biology and Epigenetics
  • 2016–2023: Postdoc in the lab of James Noonan at Yale University, USA
    During my postdoc, I used computational and functional genomics to interrogate the occurrence and effects of genetic variation in mammalian enhancers, with a focus on human-specific genetic variation.
  • 2011–2015: PhD in Evolutionary Genetics at Uppsala Universitet, Sweden, in the lab of Hans Ellegren
    In my thesis work, I used transcriptome data from different bird species to investigate patterns of gene expression variance related to sex chromosome evolution and speciation.
  • 2009–2011: MSc in Evolutionary Biology at Uppsala Universitet, Sweden. Thesis in the lab of Hans Ellegren
  • 2005–2009: BSc in Biology at Universität Heidelberg, Germany. Thesis in the lab of Michael Wink
