New PhD student · October 2025 Welcome to Jeanne, PhD student studying bivalve robustness in the face of climate change |
|
Jeanne joined Ifremer’s Tahiti centre and the UMR SECOPOL in October 2025 to begin her PhD under the supervision of Guillaume Mitta (UMR SECOPOL – French Polynesia), Julien Vignier (Cawthron Institute – New Zealand) and Jérémie Vidal-Dupiol (IHPE Montpellier – France).
She is involved in a project focusing on the developmental trajectories of several bivalve species of aquaculture interest. Her research aims to enhance the robustness of these species within MaHeWa – WP5.2, and to understand the mechanisms underlying their thermal resistance in the context of climate change. To achieve this, she conducts experimental work including molecular biology manipulations (DNA/RNA extractions), as well as omics-based analyses, notably transcriptomics and (epi)genomics. |
