Cristian Felipe Soler Reyes
COLLEGE Lecturer
BioCristian Felipe Soler Reyes received a Ph.D. in Latin American and Iberian Studies from Stanford University in 2023. His research looks at different Latin American art forms (painting, sculpture, cinema, literature, etc.) from the last 30 years with a transnational, cross-cultural, and transdisciplinary lens.
During his time as a graduate student at Stanford, he created and taught three courses: “Spanish through Comics,” “Latin American Art and Literature,” and “Archaeology of Computer Science.” The first course was an innovative program that put together content-based materials with language learning. It introduced students to comics that presented political discussions and struggles from Hispanic communities across Latin America and the US while it also gave them creative assignments that allowed them to practice and improve their Spanish. “Latin American Art and Literature” was a course offered in the Art History Department that focused on Latin American art and that was entirely taught in Spanish. Finally, “Archaeology of Computer Science” presented students the role that some non-Western societies played in the construction of this field.
Besides his courses, Cristian also chaired for two years “Comics: More than Words,” a research group that was not only a hub for interdisciplinary thought, but also fostered diversity. Students from different backgrounds came together in this space to learn from each other and to exchange their different perspectives. -

PhD/Science:
While most of us are familiar with vertical transfer (e.g. I get genes from my father and mother), I find horizontal gene transfer (HGT) - exchanging genes between species - far more compelling. Imagine if you ate a jellyfish and the next day you glowed in the dark and had poisonous stingers! The prevalence of HGT in natural history, and its ability to suddenly create incredible phenotypes in animals, is becoming more apparent every year. I am currently studying HGT of cytolethal distending toxin B in insects in the Integrative Biology Department at University of California - Berkeley. I discovered that cdtB was transferred into the genomes of several drosophilid and aphid lineages (Verster et al 2019, Molecular Biology and Evolution). I also recently found that cdtB (in addition to other toxin genes) was transferred into an agriculturally devastating clade of insects known as midges - and, interestingly, that living in the same habitat may increase the likelihood of HGT between organisms (Verster and Tarnopol et al 2021, Genome Biology and Evolution).
