Léa Soler Clavel (she/her)

Marine molecular biologist and PhD student focusing on the molecular basis of salmonid (salmon, trout, charr and related species) resistance to parasitic sea lice. I am currently investigating the changes in gene expression at the cell level in Atlantic salmon as a response to lice infection, using bioinformatics analyses of single-cell mRNA sequencing data.

My research interests lie in understanding the evolutionary history and potential for adaptation in marine fish from genome architecture to gene expression, in order to inform population management, as well as sustainable fishing and aquaculture practices.
