I am a marine biologist interested in the responses of marine macroalgae to environmental stress. More specifically, how they acclimate to local heterogeneity and how are they likely to endure ongoing climate change. During my PhD, I applied several methods ranging from physiological measurements to gene expression through the use of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). At CIBIO-InBIO I will be looking at the biogeography of rocky shores communities, its induced changes due to global warming and how theese are modulated by their microhabitat.
