Lucie Zinger
I’m Associate Professor at École Normale Supérieure, Université Paris Sciences & Lettres since Sept 2016, where I organise and teach courses in ecology, environmental genomics and now statistics to License 3 and Master 1 students. My research activities fall at the interface between community ecology and macroecology, microbial ecology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics. My objectives are two-fold : (i) to improve methodological frameworks for environmental DNA-based techniques in order to (ii) better understand the ecological processes shaping microbial and invertebrates communities and how these respond to global changes.
