Jean-Marc Lassance – new researcher

Hi! My name is Jean-Marc Lassance.

I am a biologist interested in sensory biology, evolutionary biology and genomics. Specifically, my research interests are centred on understanding the role of the chemosensory systems in the adaptation of animals to their environment, their contribution to fitness, and how variation in those systems affects behaviour and the evolution of mating systems and social behaviours. To this end, I use an interdisciplinary approach combining molecular techniques, phylogenetics and comparative genomics. In my research, I use non-classical insect and rodent models.

After a postdoc in the US, I am joining Christer Löfstedt and the Pheromone Group to contribute to ongoing investigations on the molecular bases of pheromone production and reception in moths and butterflies.
