Summary
Etienne Loire is a post-doctoral researcher with 11 years of experience combining large-scale DNA sequence analysis and theoretical population genetics to study primate genome dynamics and speciation. Trained at Pierre and Marie Curie University, he moved from wet-lab sequencing and molecular evolution during his PhD to developing and applying population-genetic theory to individual-level genomic data. At CNRS he investigates evolutionary processes in marine and terrestrial systems, integrating bioinformatics pipelines with models of demography and selection. He is comfortable handling massive genetic datasets and translating them into testable evolutionary hypotheses. Notably, his background bridges hands-on sequencing, repeat analysis in human DNA, and contemporary theoretical work—positioning him to unify data and theory as sequencing shifts to the individual level. Based in Montpellier, he brings a pragmatic, interdisciplinary approach to questions of evolution and speciation.
