Research Interests

Marie’s research investigates how phenotypic plasticity and epigenetic mechanisms contribute to adaptation in marine microorganisms. She analyzes naturally occurring Ostreococcus sp. isolates from the Baltic Sea, comparing their plasticity to prior experimental data and examining epigenetic patterns across cultures with known evolutionary histories. This work sits at the intersection of marine ecology, evolutionary biology, and molecular genetics, aiming to clarify how environmental pressures shape genetic and epigenetic variability in planktonic organisms.
