Dr. Lucie Bergeron

Biography

Lucie Adrienne Bergeron is a Visiting Researcher in the Ecology Evolution department at the University of Copenhagen. She is a PhD student in Guojie Zhang's group, focusing on Functional Genomics. Her research interests include variation and mutation rates across vertebrates, identifying germline mutations as a fundamental source of genetic diversity. Lucie's work employs comparative approaches to determine differences in mutation rates across various vertebrate species, including mammals, birds, fishes, reptiles, and amphibians. She is particularly interested in the mechanisms underlying the variability of mutation rates influenced by environmental factors and life history traits. Additionally, Lucie explores the efficiency of DNA repair systems throughout the species she studies, contributing to a deeper understanding of genetic diversity and its implications in evolutionary biology.
