Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPierre De Wit is a senior lecturer and marine evolutionary biologist with over a decade of experience applying high-throughput sequencing and population genomics to understand how marine invertebrates respond to environmental stressors such as warming, hypoxia and ocean acidification. He leads and contributes to multidisciplinary projects on the Swedish west coast, combining RNA-Seq, SNP analysis and phylogenomics to reveal cryptic speciation, host–symbiont coevolution and adaptive signals that are invisible to traditional methods. His PhD work described 12 new annelid species and reconstructed family-level phylogenies, showcasing a rare blend of classical taxonomy and modern molecular systematics. Having held postdoctoral positions at Stanford and led field-focused research on oysters, abalone and copepods, he bridges lab genomics with long-term ecological and management questions. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex genomic data into actionable insights for conservation and ecosystem management. Based in Strömstad, Sweden, he continues to push the limits of detecting subtle genomic responses to rapid environmental change.
