Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Université de Montréal was added to Crunchbase.

My main interests are to solve fundamental questions in microbial ecology and evolution; tracking evolving microbial populations in real time, using whole-genome and whole-community DNA sequencing to understand their evolution and predict how they adapt to changing environments. Over the course of my career, I aspire to strengthen the links between experimental studies in the lab and what is actually observed in natural microbial communities using a reverse ecology approach; i.e extracting genomic information from environments to obtain novel insights into ecological processes. One of my objectives is to improve prediction of specific microbial community states (e.g blooms) using biotic factors. Work in progress: prediction of bloom toxicity, cyanophage/cyanobacteria interaction using CRISPR arrays information.
