Henrik H. de Fine Licht

I work on host-pathogen evolution in insect-pathogenic fungi. Before returning to the University of Copenhagen I worked with Professor Anders Tunlid at Lund University, Sweden, for little over two years on morphological and genome-wide molecular adaptation in symbiotic fungi cultivated by fungus-growing ants. Before that I worked with Duur Aanen and did my PhD and first post doc with Professor Koos Boomsma at the Centre for Social Evolution, University of Copenhagen, focusing on co-evolution, particularly the cultivated fungi, in fungus-growing ants and termites.
