Caroline Blanc

Dr. Caroline Blanc is a Research Fellow at the Department of Ecology and Evolution within the Faculty of Biology and Medicine at the University of Lausanne. She is an active member of the Schwander Group led by Prof. Tanja Schwander, specializing in evolutionary and ecological research.

Her research focuses on:

• Evolutionary mechanisms in social insect systems
• Genomic adaptations in ecological contexts
• Population genetics and speciation processes
• Molecular tools for biodiversity studies

As a postdoctoral researcher, she contributes to the department's core mission of integrating field ecology with cutting-edge genomic methodologies. Her work aligns with the Schwander Group's emphasis on experimental evolution and behavioral ecology.

Dr. Blanc maintains active laboratory operations within the department's research infrastructure, collaborating on projects involving genomic sequencing, field sampling, and computational analysis of evolutionary patterns.
