Ryszard Korona, biographical note
Ryszard Korona is a professor at Jagiellonian University in Krakow. His PhD was on competitive behavior of beetles, post-doctoral training on co-evolution of bacteria-phage systems. For some fifteen years uses the budding yeast as an experimental organism in the study of evolutionary genetics and genomics. His research projects concentrate on: genetic determinants of major components of fitness, such as rate of growth and survival, stress resistance; spontaneous mutations, their rate of origin, selective value, dominance status, genetic interactions; molecular mechanisms of phenotypic buffering of mutational damage; experimental evolution of laboratory of microorganisms.
