Novel research focus

I am interested in the mechanisms of adaptation of phytoplankton in response to changing environments and in particular, to estimate the genetic and epigenetic contributions in phenotypic plasticity. I propose a multidisciplinary approach combining experimentation in the wild and in the laboratory. The aim is to apply knowledge gained from the lab to monitor changes in marine populations of Mamielalles as sea temperature and acidification increase.
