Dr. Santiago C. González-Martínez is Research Director at INRAE (UMR1202 BIOGECO), in Bordeaux (France). His main research topics focus on evolutionary processes explaining the distribution of genetic diversity in forest trees, from gene flow and fine-scale spatial genetic structure to research on candidate genes for adaptive responses, in particular to climate. Currently, he develops a broad research line on ecological genetics and genomics of local adaptation. He is currently Coordinator of IUFRO’s Division 2 (Physiology & Genetics) and the EVOLTREE European Research Group.
