Marie Vallier

Marie Vallier is a Researcher at the Institute for Experimental Medicine (IEM) of Kiel University and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI), with additional role as a scientific employee at Valbiotis, France. She contributes to the Evolutionary Genomics group within a multi-institutional consortium comprising:

• Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel
• Research Center Borstel – Leibnitz Lung Center
• Helmholtz Zentrum München (HMGU)
• Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
• Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH)
• Universität zu Lübeck

Her research specializes in bioinformatics, genetics, and microbiota ecology, focusing on computational analysis of microbial community evolution and host-microbe interactions. She develops genomic frameworks to model ecological dynamics in host-associated microbiomes, bridging evolutionary theory with practical applications in microbiome science.

Funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Dr. Vallier engages in collaborative projects that integrate cross-institutional expertise to advance evolutionary genomics. Her work leverages shared resources across the consortium for high-impact investigations into genomic adaptation.

The Evolutionary Genomics group provides a synergistic environment where Dr. Vallier collaborates with experimental and computational scientists. This team utilizes advanced sequencing infrastructure to decode evolutionary processes in microbial systems, emphasizing translational approaches for health-related microbiome research.
