Marc Long

Marc Long is a CNRS Research Fellow at the LEMAR Laboratory (University of Brest), specializing in chemical ecology and physiology of marine microalgae. His work focuses on allelopathic interactions, particularly how secondary metabolites mediate competition, predation, and parasitism in plankton communities. He holds a PhD from the University of Wollongong (Australia) and University of Western Brittany (LEMAR), and has conducted postdoctoral research at DYNECO-Ifremer and the Roscoff Biological Station.

Research interests include harmful algal blooms, dinoflagellate mixotrophy, microplastic-phytoplankton interactions, and allelochemical mechanisms. Key projects include ALG-AD, HABIS, PARACIDE, and EXAM. Methodologies involve cultivation techniques, fluorometry, flow cytometry, and quantitative imaging.

Publications emphasize chemical warfare in plankton, copper stress effects, and microplastic aggregation dynamics. Collaborations span marine biology, biotechnology, and environmental toxicology. No scientific awards explicitly listed, though ongoing research has significant ecological implications.
