Ninon Lecoquierre

Ninon is passionate about genome evolution and marine biodiversity, with a focus on non-model organisms. Her PhD research explores the mechanisms of genome simplification in dicyemids and orthonectids using long-read sequencing and comparative genomics. She developed her interest in dicyemids during an internship in Japan and deepened her expertise through research experiences in Belgium, Cameroon, and beyond. She is especially enthusiastic about combining field biology, molecular techniques, and bioinformatics in interdisciplinary collaborations.
