Meet Marie Launay: A passionate marine biologist unraveling the genomics of Arctic cod!
Marie Launay completed her B.Sc. in Biology at Sorbonne University, France, followed by an M.Sc. in Systematics at the French National Museum of Natural History. She then pursued a second M.Sc. in Marine Biology at Pascal Paoli University, France. Passionate about scuba diving, marine ecosystems, and wildlife, Marie is now a PhD student at McGill University. Her research focuses on Arctic cod, a central species in the Arctic marine ecosystem. Using advanced genomic tools, she investigates the population structure of this keystone species, contributing valuable insights into its ecology and conservation.
