Stéphanie MADEC

Stéphanie MADEC is a University Professor at the University of Western Brittany, assigned to the LEMAR Laboratory. Her research focuses on marine bivalve/environment/microorganism interactions and cellular ecotoxicology. She investigates the impacts of environmental changes such as chemical pollution (biocides, heavy metals), acoustic pollution, and climate change on bivalve health at the cellular level.

Current projects include developing cell culture models of marine bivalve hemocytes (e.g., oyster, clam) for ecotoxicological applications and studying pollutant effects on bivalve microbiota, immunity, and hemocyte/microbiota interactions. She employs an integrative 'holobiont' approach, examining interactions across cellular, microbial, and environmental scales. Biotechnological applications include creating eco-friendly antifouling solutions while assessing their environmental impacts.

No scientific awards or specific grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. She advises no listed students. Her primary affiliation is with the LEMAR Laboratory, where her work bridges marine biology, ecotoxicology, and biotechnology.
