Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwen Wangensteen is a marine molecular ecologist and lecturer in invertebrate biology at the University of Barcelona with over a decade of research experience applying next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics to marine benthic systems. His work spans metabarcoding, population genomics, RNA-seq and phylogeography, with a particular focus on echinoderms and the effects of warming and acidification on larval stages. He has held postdoctoral and research positions across Norway, the UK and Spain, blending field ecology with molecular and computational approaches. Trained originally in biochemistry and structural biology, Owen brings an uncommon mix of clinical laboratory rigor and protein-structure experience to ecological genomics. He publishes and teaches on trophic interactions, bentho-pelagic coupling and molecular biodiversity assessment, and maintains active hands-on work in environmental DNA and bioinformatic pipelines.
