Jade Sourisse

Post-doc fellow

Hi! I am Jade, I'm from France and I am marine biologist currently working on the importance of cleaning mutualisms for coral reef ecosystems at Laboratório Marítimo da Guia. I did my PhD at the University of Hong Kong where I focused on the responses of aquatic organisms to environmental changes when it comes to behaviour and the molecular state of their nervous system.

I have always been fascinated by the sea, as my dad started teaching me scuba diving when I was very young. There is still so much to learn about how marine animals behave, interact and make entire ecosystems work, and I believe that my research can provide such fundamental knowledge. With the many threats marine life currently faces, I think it is also important to better understand what we should protect and why, and I hope my work contributes to those efforts so biodiversity conservation strategies are well oriented.

As a scuba diving instructor, I love to travel and discover new marine habitats and do outdoor sports all the time. When I cannot spend time outside though, I also enjoy playing video games until the rain is gone. Finally, I have a BIG passion for good food, especially desserts (I am French after all…).
