The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.

My thesis focuses on bryozoans, a taxon present in two environments that are models of fragmented habitats with strong internal environmental gradients: marinas and underwater caves. The aims of my thesis are 1) to study the specific and genetic diversity of these species, using phylogeography and integrative taxonomy approaches, and 2) to study their adaptive capacity using a multi-omics approach (epigenetics, transcriptomics, metabolomics).
